Renee I had CI/ pelvic floor disorder, plus he said I had a outlet prob. Meaning that my internal and external sphincter was so clamped down they said that is why nothing will come out..and that they wanted to do bio-feed back.
I said no that is not the problem but they wanted me to do it first just to try and see if it helps...for one thing Insurance does not pay for it and they wanted me to drive 4 hrs 3x a week, 2 hrs to get there and 2 hrs home 3x a week at the price of $250.00 a pop. For 6 months who are they kidding.
So I said not thats not the prob. Plus I researched it and called different people who do the bio feed back and it has a very low success rate..and I was so sick I did not want or afford that, time was urgent that I get my problem solved, because I was litterally dying.
So went and found my own surgeon and he did another test and that week I had surgery.
I had a Total Colecotmy, with a internal J-pouch instead of a colon. So no appliances or ostomies they just hooked my sm. intestine right back up to like a inch left of my rectum...so I am going pooo normally.
I dont think that you weight will keep you from surgery , unless you have out of control blood pressure.
Is this the same surgery your having?
