Hello! Here's my update: I had surgery 5 weeks ago. It did not go as planned. I came in "healthy" (not acutely ill). My surgery was done robotically. Sometimes "things" don't show up on a CT scan. In my case, my colon was folded over and laying on top of my rectum and wedged into my pelvic cavity. She successfully did the resection and anastomosis but had to, unexpectedly and much to my displeasure, do a temporary ileostomy due to inflammation and letting the colon "rest". My reversal procedure is scheduled for April 16.
