Sharon,
Thanks for your comments. I'm sorry that the gracillis muscle flaps procedure didn't work for you. The sacral nerve stimulator was first developed for bladder incontinence, which is not my problem. But some people who had that done noticed definite improvements in their bowel issues...which definitely IS my problem. You may have see my prior remarks that my surgeon thinks this is worth testing to see if it will work, and if the test goes well, she will install it. But my primary care physician is critical of the idea. They are both good doctors, so I am conflicted. I lean toward doing it, and yes, I will post my results afterward.
