Hello All,
I'm new to this site also, and reading your post reminds me of what my surgeon has told me, a 50% chance on this that it will work, I have colonic inertia along with sigmoid colon stenosis, I am 38...I have been this way since my gallbladder surgery on 9/5/06. The surgeon who did the gallbladder removal lapro, said he accidentally spilled the contents of my gallbladder which was poisoned with thick black tarry bile into my abdomen mad , now before this surgery, my bowels worked fine, but since the surgery, nothing, it was literally overnight that my bowels stopped working!!
I also got a copy of the operating room minutes to read what else happened, I read also that he removed part of my liver, which he never told me!! mad It caused a severe bleed, I should get a lawyer, but I don't know how, etc...anyways, I am in the same boat, my surgery is scheduled for May 6th, and I'm a nervous wreck!!!
I believe in my heart that surgeon caused this to me, and no, this surgeon doing my coloectomy is not the same surgeon who did my gb surgery, thank God!
I would like some input from some people on here as to what they think, etc...I am now totally disabled because of this, I had to give up a management position because I couldn't stand the pain, etc...all I can handle is ice cream, solid foods kill me almost....
Good luck to you and anybody else out there who is going through this also. I look forward to getting some responses to my post, maybe some good advice, etc...
