Reply to "Newbie looking for anyone with ileorectal anastomosis?"

How will they take your IRA to a j pouch? Do you have to have a temp ileostomy first? Even drinking a lot of fluid I am “constipated.” Unfortunately like you raw veggies don’t agree. They did just dialate the anastomosis where connected to rectum. Apparently since Dec I formed scar tissue and the GI doc couldn’t get a 10mm scope in. He tried to take the area to 15mm but I popped the balloon at the end of the scope at 12. He didn’t finish. I guess he took his toy balloon and went home. Sorry sometimes we have to laugh at the absurdity of all of this. I have been told to stay clear of Imodium as I need to thin things not thicken. How are they going to do your surgery and what prompted them to change your IRA to a J pouch? If you don’t mind sharing. I’m sorry you are having to deal with so much. Thank you for responding. Jen
