Having problems with message search?
thanks for answering. I had to have emergency surgery the first of March, didn't even know I was so sick. We were on vacation, had been for about 5 weeks, had to come home very quickly and I was rushed to the hospital........at first they told me I might have cancer, as my symptoms were that I had a blockage in my intestine..........well, I did and they had to take out 18 inches of my lg. intestine, and a few inches of my small, leaving me with a temp. colostomy. I am doing good with it.........but was so week from staying in the hospital for 3 weeks, I still struggle to get around. Have no energy at all. While I was in the emergency room, they did an upper GI with barium and an enema with barium....which was so bad to have done if it leaks into your insides, my Dr. said you don't survive that, but he was a miracle worker, and I did ok. I am having it reversed sometime in Sept. I had such bad experiences in the hospital, I am not looking forward to this surgery at all. How did yours go? Did it take you a while to get back normal bowel function? I have heard you have diarrhea with some reversals, do you? Thanks, for your help, Wheatie
