Slow gi motility with severe constipation

So, could I ask the reason they removed the 6’ of colon? My surgeon said that option not available to me bc of slow transit. Ileostomy only option. I am getting a second opinion. I just don’t get why that would still be an issue if your colon is removed!

Because my colon no longer worked. It was paralyzed pretty much. Dealt with it for over 15 years, started out just very slow transit time and progressively got worse until one day, couldn't have a BM on my own. I was a good candidate for that type of procedure because I don't have any issues with my pelvic floor muscles. I had to be tested for all that prior. I would definitely get a second opinion. HTH 🤗
