Did u have that for your crohns?
I had 7cm of my small bowel removed in June, it was an obstruction of scar tissue caused from years of Crohns flares. During the healing process my bowels split (also due to my poor healing from crohns) and caused me to be septic. I had an emergency surgery to reattach my bowels, and my surgeon gave me a loop ileostomy to redirect the BM's so that my bowels had time to heal.
I had one more surgery after that to repair my abdominal fascia, and that was in July. I spent 54 days total in the hospital(most in ICU because I coded during the last two procedures and had to be on a respirator after both of them), and it was another three weeks of home therapy before I was "healed".
It's now been 4 months and I am ready to have my reversal. I had an enema last week with dye (they used a water based solution, not barium. They said that barium isn't used with my history because if there was a hole in my bowel it could have leaked into my abdominal cavity and poisoned me because barium is pretty much like liquid cement.) Everything looked great, but man it was weird to feel my bag fill up with cold liquid!
Two days and counting... tomorrow I start my clear liquids. I'm starting to get very, very nervous. After the hassle of my last surgeries, I really hope this one doesn't have any complications.
