First of all, it's nice to meet everyone. I stumbled across this site on accident and thought this would be a good place to get advice since it's filled with people going through this nightmare like myself. I had my reversal surgery last March ( 2013 ). Obviously after the surgery it was rough. I was weak, tired, felt like hell, and was thinking what the hell did I even do this for. Well it slowly got better, I recovered quite fast due to being in Shape from running, lifting and having a clean diet. About 3 months after the surgery I felt better to the point were I could run, get in the gym which is great. Unfortunately, things soon after took a spiral downward. Literally I seem to have gotten worse and worse as each month passed by. I'm at the point now over a year later where I can't even stand up from sitting without almost blacking out, I literally have 24/7 constant stomach pain in the forms of severe bloating, loud and I mean across the room loud stomach noises which are stupidly painful and I guess the best way to describe it is saying it's feels like a bad chemistry experiment is going on in my stomach. Other than that, I have no energy anymore, I can't focus, I can't function in school, I had to quit work since I can't stand for hours without blacking out. All in all I'm literally so miserable and I'm at my wits end. I've been to the doctor and he literally just tells me this is normal after the reversal surgery, throws antibiotics at me for C-Diff which I never have and tells me good luck! There's just no way I should feel like this after a year +. I really need help / advice. The depression is coming back and I'm so tired of dealing with this.
