Re: Redundant colon - Colectomy?

[Guest guest]

I had the DS with Dr K on 2-24-04, and was diagnosed with a redundant colon

about 6 or 8 months later. Dr K suggested I avoid surgery & just make sure I

stay hydrated. My experience of the redundant colon is simply losing 10lbs after

a 30 minute toilet session. I don't think I have excessive bloating or gas, nor

have I experienced any incontinence. Perhaps it's all about how the loops are

lying. I wish you a successful outcome and an easier experience.

Hi All - I havent posted here in several years. I had a

revision from RNY to DS with Dr. K in 2003.

Any and all feedback is appreciated. Dr. K says he is

doing 1-2 colectomys per month. Would love to hear from

anyone's experience with this good or bad and the end

result.

changer Dr. Z did mine 3 years ago no issues. I trusted Dr. K with

my husbands life then mine I have total confidence with them!

Thanks Raine – what were the issues you were having prior to the Colectomy that were alleviated afterwards? Incontinence? Oil leaks? Do you find that you have more or less often bowel movements now post Colectomy? How much colon was removed?

Thanks

Raine – what were the issues you were having prior to

the Colectomy that were alleviated afterwards?

Incontinence? Oil leaks?

I

had lived with one whole year of constipation and

abdominal pain. the surgery resolved all the pain

and allowed for semi normal bowel movements. As for

oil slicks, just how much fat do you eat. I have to

eat FAKE butter spreads to get those.

Do you

find that you have more or less often bowel movements

now post Colectomy?

more

complete bm than before

How much

colon was removed?

I do

not have numbers just descriptions. Dr. Z removed

1/2 of the transverse colon anong with about 1/3 of

the decending colon.

Best, Raine

Thanks
