Hello all,
I am sure many will not remember me as it has been awhile since I have been on. I hope you are all doing well. I had a Colectomy in 2011 for CI. It was helpful and I definitely don't regret it at all. During the testing, prior to the surgery, it was discovered that I had Gastroparesis as well. At the time it was not bothersome, I don't think
about 6 months after the Colectomy, it appeared to get worse and since then it has become debilitating, even more so in the past 6 weeks. I'm constantly in pain, vomiting, distended...etc Going through Hell again but for a different reason. I have found that GP symptoms can sometimes worsen after a Colectomy. Has anyone had this issue ( I know you have Kyle )? I am consulting a surgeon about a Pyloroplasty or a Gastric Pacemaker, so hopefully I will find some relief because dietary changes and medication are no longer working. Did anyone else have any ailment or disease that became worse after this surgery? I hear it can cause damage to the Vagus Nerve and this could be part of the reason.
Thanks!
