I had my ileum removed 3 years ago. CRP is great. Everything has been great. But, I had a complete fistulas through to my bladder that he also removed. He didn’t have to surgically repair my bladder. Instead it pulled it off of there and left tissue there for it to heal. The top right part of...

Hey pal. I also was diagnosed in 2003. I have surgery set for November 8th to remodel my ileum. I'm on the new meds Humira and such that work great. In your case I think and know you need to have a colonoscopy, you need a barium test done. Blood work. Etc. need to find out if its reoccurrence at...

Hey pal. 15 year vet here. What was you diagnosed with? Crohn's? Colitis? Hemroids? Diverticulitis? And let me guess flagyl? And as far as surgery. Find out for sure first. The only reason you would need surgery now is if you have an obstruction, bad perforation or twisted bowel. The new meds to...

Has anyone had a narrow terminal ileum with a fistula to the bladder and sigmoid colon?? I have surgery coming up soon. ANY INSIGHTS? Thanks guys.

I'm happy to hear you are healed that's awesome. I'll be keeping you updated as time goes on.

Hey what did they do to the fistula to sigmoid? Stitch it? Or?

Hahha that will never go away. Lol. But, anxiety is coming and going here lately. But, all and all I'm doing okay. Are you fully healed JessPeper ??

is your mother stubborn? Has she not been to a GI? Or had a colonoscopy? And well, 5-9 days. I'll have a catheter for at least 2 weeks depending on how much work is done to my bladder.

That's good on the eating. And also good on the meds and GI. and see my sigmoid and bladder are involved. I have a fistula connected to each one. It's through to the bladder. He said the sigmoid likes to flop over there in the way. He said the last test I did that it wasn't all the way thru in...

Hey there! That is great to hear! My own opinion I would stop taking those meds. That's just me. Find you a good GI doctor and do some research on the right meds you should be on to help. Lol. How is your eating and bowel movement? And yes, I'm little over a month out. Anxiety has been a big...
