Hi Everyone,
After having my colon removed 10 months ago and managing to keep my rectum so hopefully i could have a reversal at some point, i have recently found out that my rectum is infected and is flaring. Therefore, i was wondering if anyone else has been in this position and what options they had or did.
For example did they have to remove the rectum? And if so how long were you off work and does the surgery just take place around the rectum or do they have to open up the stomach?
Or did you try medicine to get the chrohns under control and then still have the reversal?
I suppose i would like to know if anyone who has had an infected rectum/stump but still managed to have a reversal?
Thanks guys and girls.
