I had my take down surgery in 2010 Diagnosis Ulcerative Colitis. Four surgeries in 6 months with multiple complications. Gastro tells me I have a poor functioning pouch I have problems digesting food so my diet is limited. I do protein shakes and vitamins to try to get the best nourishment. I have had multiple dilations because of scar tissue.
My surgeon would like to operated to remove scar tissue but does not give me any guarantee that it will help but my gastro is against it because of problems I had during my past surgeries. I love reading every ones post it helps me deal with what I go thru and to know that I am not alone. I love to read the success stories because it gives me hope that one day I will too have a success story. I am 65 years old and wanting to go for a second opinion but nervous about another surgery because of what my doctors are telling me. Does anyone have any advice. Thank you for listening Grace
