Hi @thellman and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So glad you found the group. This will allow you to connect with members like @judy75, @ashweb901, @lasirvent, @s35flyer, and @dablues who also have tortuous colon.
"For the select small number of constipated patients who cannot be managed medically, surgical options should be considered." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2780139/
I would suggest getting another opinion about surgery if you have been through everything else without relief. Don't give up on yourself. You know your body better than anyone else.
How long have you been suffering with this?
