Total Colectomy with Ileostomy

by kimperry70, Apr 19, 2009 11:09PM
I have had chronic constipation since I was born.  I have recently been diagnosed with colonic inertia.  My surgeon is recommending a total colectomy in the next few weeks and I am alittle nervous.  However, I am ready to be able to have a BM.  Right now I have not had one in 19 days.  The BM that I had before that was about 3 weeks prior.  2 BM's in about 5 1/2 weeks.  I was wondering about the recovery period and what foods to avoid.  I would appreciate any information.  Thanks so much!
