I had surgery in June 2018 by Dr. Hurley and Dr. O'Neil in Dallas. They are both amazing doctors. They had to cut me open and my uterus was stuck my j-pouch and rectal stump via scar tissue. My insides were worse than anticipated. The scar tissue was covering everything and they could not see anything. It took over an hour to cut through the scar tissue. I had a complete hysterectomy and they put my j-pouch and small intestine back where they should be. After surgery, when I got up to walk, I could tell the weight on my rear was not there. Three days after surgery I had a tachycardia and ended up in ICU for 2 days. I was seconds from dying. It scared me half to death. My 6 year old daughter was sitting next to me when it happened. A few months after surgery, I started feeling better than I have in 20 years. I was able to completely empty my j-pouch.
I was correct that my rectal stump, j-pouch and uterus were all stuck together and I had a pelvic floor prolapse with both. I do have somewhat of a prolapse with my uterus. My doctors were shocked with how bad it was.
Everything was great until 9/19/19 when I was in a horrible car accident. A woman hit me head on. I now have problems with my j-pouch with fecal accidents again, issues with not completely emptying my bowel, abdominal pain and nausea. I am seeing my doctors trying to fix all this.
Have you seen your colorectal surgeon? Ask for a proctograpghy or defecography test. It is where a radiologist puts barium up your rectum to your j-pouch and uses x-ray to watch you "release" it into a make shift toilet. That will diagnose a rectal prolapse. Only specially trained radiologists can preform this test.
