Reply to "Recent J pouch surgery"

Figured I'd give the update. Five weeks post jpouch surgery I am at Cleveland clinic to try to figure out why I would eat anything and feel constipated and could not have a productive bowel movement. Turns out I have a twisted pouch and a prolapse from straining. Dr Shen and dr Renzi both think this was possibly caused by stapling improperly. The problem is now that I can't eat at all. I'm on TPN for nutrition through the picc line and the surgeon would rather me wait six weeks for more surgery but I'm not able to eat and in considerable pain so I am pushing for illiostomy this week and then jpouch redo in summer. Any thoughts about going in so close to my last surgery. Any thoughtsz?
