I was just wondering how many people have had this surgery? From what I learned from pathology is that most of the intestine actually adapts by regenerating. However, the terminal ilium does not. Does anyone know the long term effects of this. I hate to say this but in my case, I really don't know that my surgery was even necessary. My surgeon was too surgery happy in my opinion. He really didn't need to take out as much as he did but did so because it was 'standard' surgical procedure. He even told me it didn't 'look' that bad when he saw it which sort of makes me angry. Yeah--take out the abscess (which was already burst by the way) but don't take out more than necessary!
I've just been struggling with so many health issues since. I haven't found anyone on here in the same boat. Its like my whole digestive system doesn't communicate properly now and neither does my brain for that matter:sign0085:
Thanks. I always appreciate feedback
