Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Paget, Just to let you know..I have had all but 8 inches of my colon removed, and my youngest sister has had the surgery your doctors are talking about. She had her entire colon removed, and her small intestine turned into a J-pouch. None of us (4 kids in totalwho have had our colon or most of it removed) have any problems, and we have never to this day experienced any form of blockage or constipation, as one of the side effects of this surgery is medium loose to loose stools, and just having to go more frequently.. If you wish for me to go into more detail with you about anything just let me know..whether on this site or through my private email...
