Hello. I had colonic inertia for over 15 years. I tried everything and finally last summer could no longer have a BM on my own. So, I saw a GI at Frist Clinic in Nashville TN. She tried different meds and ran tests and the conclusion was that surgery would benefit me and give me a better quality of life. I am 44. What I like about her is that she actually listens to me and takes me seriously. She doesn't just shrug me off. She referred me to a Colorectal surgeon who she trusts. I met him and he also ran tests and told me that surgery was my best option. So, in January I had a total colectomy with IRA. No bag. I am 9 weeks out from surgery and I am now having BMs on my own. My GI doctor is Dr. Anjali Shah with Frist Clinic in Nashville. Hope that helps. ❤️
Which one did you go too? Which doctor there? Did you not like Clevand clinic?
What area do you live in. I am a couple hours away from Atlanta
