strip myectomy back in Aug 03. I went to the radiologist for an upper gi to confirm a hietal hernia. After it was confirmed the radiologist wanted me to go see the GI dept because she thought I was constipated. I went over and they did a series of workups, sitz markers, defecagram, colonoscopy, something with a balloon, etc....The GI doc wanted me to have this surgery to confirm that he thought I had hirschsprungs (mind you that I was 30 years old). Had the myectomy in Aug 03. A few weeks had passed and I was unable to have bowel movements, the follow up with the surgeon was negative results for hirschprungs, there were the normal nerves
. Have you ever heard/seen of a patient with this after effect of surgery? I am currently taking 1 half-lytle per week (was doing golyltle every 3-5 days). The main question is can a megacolon cut off blood returning to the heart and can it cause the heart to act funny, like skipping beats, SVT's?
