Hello. Well this is sucking. i definitely have fistula (at least the recto-vaginal one) - 90 minute MRI on Thursday and 2nd colonoscopy following week. Blood tests, anemia, lack of ability to process B vitamins and protein and 20 lb. weight loss with no interest in food....pretty sure that's what we are talking.
The fistula, of course is my main concern. I live in Hawaii and there is noone skilled enough to fix it here. I would like to have it fixed leperascopically (sp) - instead of flap or some other intrusive option. I know nothing about Crohn's, Fistula's or what I'm in for. I feel ok today - but yesterday I could barely get out of bed for 10 minutes without have to lay down again. Does anyone have any advice on the procedure for fistula fix? Thanks, Jenn
