Your post scares me. Your response. I'm sorry for what you've endured
I forgot to clarify it would be a partial gastrectomy for me.
The incision is a long one you describe.
My scope schedule with my gi has been thrown off because 2 months ago I lost my mother to congestive heart failure complications
I'm afraid of what's gone in in my jpouch and rectum My last colonoscopy was Dec 22 2021 so I am over due. My gastro likes to survillience me every few months . I was taking care of my very sick mother for 4.5 months before she passed so the stress was pouring out of me.
I receive the iron infusions each year I think it's cause I loose some blood from when the polyps bleed and I have a cogulation defect I don't hold onto the iron long
We have dangerous diseases you and i
My gi never told me how many rectal polyps I have but he always described them as easily removed for enough spaced apart
The low grade dysplasia found last time Nov 9 on gastroscopy has me scared about cancer potentials and it doesn't help that I have ocd and obsess over the situation
I'm worried if I do need a partial gastrectomy do they just reattach the remaining stomach to the intestines. Can you get dumping syndrome or feel too full soon after eating with partial stomach removal?
Glad to have someone to talk to cuz I'm a worry wort
Thanks!
