Reply to "Just had surgery for K Pouch & revision of valve"

Aggie,
Have you had an opacification yet?
I had my radiologist do mine in 5 stages:
1 just dribble a couple drops of the opac solution into the valve an visualize just the valve that way (they found a divit in mine due to my constantly pushing the tube in to the side of the valve, not tragic as long as I stop doing it.
2 slowly filling the pouch and filming.
3 Turning me on my sides, right and left, to see how the pouch rolls, turns etc
4 Sitting up on the table in 'normal position' to see where the pouch/valve sit
5 Standing up, right and left sides too to see how low it was sitting when full (that is how we found that my pouch was down and crushing my organs below.
Finally he took shots with the pouch emptying out...those pictures did a better job of diagnosising then an open surgery (practically).
You may wish to try it.
hope this helps,
Sharon
