Has anyone used HBOT? I googled this for fistula repair and found some positive info for both fistula repair and chron's. Wondering if anyone can add any insight...

I did. Don't waste your time.
Hi Dawn -
Can you elaborate on what happened? I am planning on doing this as I've done research that this has a fairly high success rate of closing fistulas. I have 2 new fistulas that developed in my mid-line due to an abscess. I was told that the "newer" the fistula the easier it is to heal. I'd be interested in hearing your story...

I have a surgical fistula caused by the original surgeon while creating my jpouch. I have had over 30 surgeries to repair the fistula. After one of the surgeries I went to a chamber 15 or 20 times over the course of a summer. This was the summer of 2009. It is still not healed.
Thanks for sharing Dawn! I too have had about 20+ surgeries for a RV Fistula - now have a K-Pouch so no rectum but still have the fista. Humia did close it for a few months, but then I developed an abscess, it open up again as well as 2 new fistulas in my midline incision. I'm done with surgeries and want to try the chamber as two fistulas are new and hopefully more responsive. Thanks again - I'm glad I have a place to turn to - because the doctors are never as invested in our health as we are!
