Hi all,
Thanks for thinking of me. Am trying to post from a blackberry and sometimes I can get on here and sometimes not. Tomorrow is surgery. For lapro lysis of adhesions and redo of the stoma redo. She said if any small bowel has to be removed it it is too adhered together she uses a side to side anastomosis. Not as apt to stricture. She also uses the warmed humidified co2 insufflation gas that is not as drying on the tissues and does not add to adhesions like the cold co2 gas can. If she has to
open she will use seprafilm adhesion barrier. I had a new ct scan which showed no dilated small bowel loop. She said that stoma definitely needs revision by the pics I sent and the symptoms and appearance of it in person. I did have mucosal transplantation with the revision and that is what made the stoma shrink as I had researched. Pray for me.
My email is
[email protected]. It is easier for me to answer email from my blackberry than to get on the forum from the BB so it is ok to email me for an update then post to the the forum on my behalf.
This doc is one of the tops and extremely nice and very on top of what I had been thru. Had obviously read all my records with a fine tooth comb so here is hoping! Rosemary
Ps sarah hope you get help soon too. I am terrified of the picc line!
