I had written earlier this week that I had a bowel resect done in '08..Well after reading so many posts on the ileum and surgery, I guess I understand a bit more about the surgery.
I had read so many posts that people talked about the ileovalve (sp)
I thought ok mine is still there maybe I won't have the issues so many others said they had after surgery. NOT.. my anastomisis included the distal ileum to beyond the cecum and small bowel all totaling just over 28 cm. then add the appendix because it was dead as well..
I am upset because I thought this wouldn't happen in the same area again,maybe a patch away from it. When the last GI did my scope in 2009 he said he couldn't get past the ileum so I had a Cs but because I Am allergic to dyes we used whole milk and alot of it, she took 1 picture. 2 weeks later I was called with inconclusive findings..
So as I stated in another post I have pain in the ascending ,descending colon and just about where the pancreas is located,my stools are clay colored and occasionally I have blood even w/o bm or gas..Am I doomed at this point? I have had major pain and my eyes and joints are so sore and achy. I go to new GI in 2 days then I will prob have to wait another week or so before I have yet another scope.
Is there anyone out there that has had this issue and what was the outcome? Please any info or questions for new doc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Oh and Happy Valentines Day
