Hi Debbie,
Well, as for the surgery, I think that for the most part, it worked...or within the limits of what he could do.
My liver is still miserable (less meat, fat, cheese, oil etc helps a bit) but I need my hepatologist to take another look.
My pouch is back on the wall and the valve, although not perfect, is straighter.
The loop of bowel that I had problems with is fine now and the changes are amazing.
Ditto for the few adhesions that I had that were causing problems...so an all-round success.
Like I said, you need to find someone who you can trust and it needs to be reciprocal...
Sharon
