Hi all - officially set the date for my surgery today for the 29th. I am 24F and just feeling a lot of emotions at the moment. Any encouraging stories from this wonderful community would be greatly appreciated.
I am having this procedure done due to my colon not functioning. I’ve already had a partial resection done in January.
Hi all - 24yrs old and about 3 months post left hemicolectomy. It is now decided that the rest of the right colon needs to be removed as well and I have been given the option to do an anastomosis of the end of small bowel to the rectum OR total colectomy. I would really appreciate any input from this community. I feel the anastomosis will leave me incontinent and better quality of life would be had with a stoma. Thoughts? Thank you all
