Slow transit constipation and surgery

Hi Becky, I’m just beside myself. I spoke with the doctors nurse yesterday and he always uses an NG tube. He’s on vacation and will call me to discuss after sep13th. I do my research well I think and I read more studies saying back in the early days yes but not now. The side effects weigh out the benefits. I can’t eat with it so how will I have any stool to pass. I’ve had gallbladder and appendix, both blow you up with gas and you don’t need this. I just don’t understand it.I have moderate esophageal dysmotility so it worries me. I don’t know now if I’ll do it.
I’m going to ask to try linzess or try lance or ametesa again. I had no luck with any for months but this is now causing me very bad Antietam. I hope someone who has had one will read this and help me as to how it feels. Sorry that I was sounding so great but this just turned that around…Joanne

Sometimes I feel situations intervene that are really life changing and this may have been your spiritual protectors looking after you to make sure that a non-reversible surgery is really the right thing at this time. I pray that you will find a solution to your condition. Like the man said, and I am not being facetious, "I share your pain."
