Slow gi motility with severe constipation

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 🤗

Hearing this it bothers me that the doctors are not apparently understanding the situation enough to diagnose WHY the colon muscle and peristaltic muscle movement has slowed / stopped. You would think it is neurologically connected, right? So, why is the muscle, peristaltic system slowing and dying and WHY don't they know?
