Did they say why they recommend removing section? Is there suspicious tissue? A structure? When they say sections, that means they are recommending a bowel resection, not removal. So that’s a positive. Do you have access to a Mayo Clinic or MD Anderson? I saw both and had surgery at MD Anderson because our insurance did not cover Mayo. One thing I will say is having the surgery as a planned surgery is always better than waiting and doing it on an emergent basis. Because I had a partial obstruction, I could not edit long, but still had to wait almost a month. During that time, I had to live on a very soft diet. It was nerve wracking and stressful.
Surgery is never a fun option, but I’ve had multiple surgeries and the recovery from the planned ones has always been easier than the ones done as emergency.
