Be careful please! I don't know how long it's ok to put off surgery and I'd be concerned about you losing too much weight so quickly. Did the surgeon say how soon you need surgery? It would be worth still calling their office to ask your questions in the mean time. I don't know anything about the surgery, but I would imagine they would want the least amount of wound sites in your intestine as possible. If there are two strictures I'm not sure how well the middle portion that has been cut on both ends would do. Good things to ask a doctor. Maybe you should call your regular GI and run this by them too.


It might be good to poke around in the surgery section of the forum more. It's good to hear from people who have already had surgery. You might need to start mentally preparing yourself for losing more intestine than you wanted. Please be careful. Don't put this off too long if you're on a juice only diet.
