@sallyw133 thank you, it does help. I guess I am scared of what anesthesia and if needed abdominal surgery will do to my bowel habits. I think I will ask if they can tell if surgery, my colon is bloated or if it's cancer or just fat.
Hope and pray they can get this done soon after biopsy this Tuesday. Having lot of tummy pain.
Thank you.... 😊
I had a complete hysterectomy five years after surgery for my twisted and redundant colon. This was back in 1989, so there was no laproscopic surgery then. For the hysterectomy, they cut me open through the same incision used to "untwist" my colon. Everything went fine, including recovery. However, as with any surgery, I did develop adhesions from both the surgeries, which now complicates the loopy colon and constipation. I take Linzess for that now. Best of luck to you!
