Jayda-thanks for sharing your experience with closing the loop. That definitely sounds like a possibility of how they “closed” him. The name of the post op drug is alvimopan. The hospital has to be signed up to be able to acquire/use the med so that will determine if it is even a possible option for you. I know our local hospital did not approve it but it was so many years ago that it was denied. Not sure if it was because of questionable efficacy or cost.
Mysticobra-I think I still have butt muscle too. This is all so amazing!
On a down note, I think my incision may have become infected. There is one part where they tried to make a belly button that has a deep groove. Not sure if stom spit some poop in there (ewww) during my one change or things got cranky on their own. Debating if I should go to my local emergi-care, call Cleveland, or wait until my post op appt on Friday. Just add it to the list.....hahaha
