Sadly, no. I waited months to see the “best” surgeon in SLC and he could not have turned me away faster. He said the only way to get rid of the sibo symptoms was to get a permanent ostomy bag. I’m still not sure what to do. Can’t take antibiotics due to neuropathy from Flagyl. Diet doesn’t work either. I take laxatives to help move things through me so nothing can ferment but that’s about all I have.

I'm sorry that the surgeon was unable or unwilling to help you. I just don't understand why I find articles describing the surgery, but then I can't find anyone who performs it. Mayo does far more complicated surgeries than this one seems to be, like all kinds of bypasses and transplants. I guess I'll keep looking, but it's frustrating to say the least. All the best for you.
