I am doing ok, still on low residue diet. Have a colonoscopy scheduled 11/16 at Mayo. They want to see the reattachment site from the inside, to make sure it all looks ok. Not sure what tests they will order for small intestine. Having to take iron supplement as I was way low. Haven't eaten any red meat since July. It seems to be bothering me somewhat, so having to take Dulcolax when I take it. They are planning to introduce some fiber back into my diet as long as tests come back ok. My big thing was getting to my daughter's wedding 09/29 with no issues. Had a great day and was actually able to eat!

It sounds as if you have some plans in place, @thull. I'm so glad that you were able to enjoy your daughter's wedding and even eat@ Most people don't realize what an accomplishment that is to those of us who have surgery in our GI tract.

@thull and everybody who's here- So glad to hear about the wedding, and haviing the attachment that allows you to eat a bit is fantastic.Great progress! I was fortunate to be able to eat a normal diet after my surgeries and don't have major problems.
