Scar tissue
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Yeah, scar tissue building up enough to be problematic in only 9 days is EXTREMELY odd. I would suggest that you ask for a copy of the surgical report from the hospital because something sounds fishy, and I think you need to be sure the surgeon is being honest with you about something so unusual!
What symptoms were you having that prompted the second surgery??

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I had to have it at 9 months out I can't imagine there being enough at 9 days. And the doctor told me I'd have more from the second surgery eventually, what does your doctor say about it building back up? Will you have to have a third surgery before one year?

I am glad your surgeon is keeping an eye on this.
At the patent office, in addition to stents, I examine other implants. Adhesions (i.e. pre-scar tissue) are an issue with any surgery, particularly hernia and back surgeries.
This is so common, that inventors are working on all sort of implantable, dissolving meshes to encourage cell growth without the new tissue improperly adhering to other tissues.
Sounds you got a vigilant surgeon!
Best wishes,
