Colonic Inertia

[bodi22]

Hello first I apologize if my English is not good I just moved in USA. I have had problems with constipation since I can remember my self. 2 Years ago I had a baby and it seams that every thing got worse and now I'm having a huge problem with hemorrhoids too , three years ago I did a colonoscopy and the doc said every thing is fine I was put on Mira lax and for a while it did work but than I wasn't having much results any way few months ago I started a colon cleansing program called colonix  from Dr Natura and boy was it worth for the first time on my life I had bowl movements every day when I woke up and no cramping no pain and even better no hemorrhoids but than after three months It was required that I stop it because of senna, by god since that happen three months ago I'm dying I went about two weeks without any bowl movement and than when I finally had one I thought I will die on bathroom so I ended up in ER and from there to specialist who had me run three test, blood, the one that they check your muscles on rectum and another one that I had to take a pill that 5 days latter had to have EX-ray after all this the doc puts me on prescription called AMITIZA 24 MCG which made me even worse with stomach pain ( that something that I have non stop ) so he called the pills of and told me that I have Colonic Inertia and I'm scheduled for a surgery this Friday so from 03 of March that I went to this Doc not even a month latter and I'm told to have surgery , I'm really scared what will happen to me if I have the surgery or what if not , by the way I just turned 28 years old. Please help me and tell me if you too think I should have more option before the  surgery.

Oh by the way I have been told that 5 days latter after I took the capsule on EX-Ray it did show that still every thing was on my Colon, as far as the other test they were OK.  


This discussion is related to Colonic inertia, surgery?.

Hey thanks for responding to my comment I still don't know exactly what type of surgery and won't find out until Friday although my doc said it will probably be partial colon removal . But what really bothers me is I feel like we didn't try every option, I started to have this heavy medical problems only since two months and he gave me that prescription than 5 days latter I was told to have the surgery. I will definitely like to be in contact with you.

Thanks again

I am not sure what type of surgery is suggested for you.  However, if it is a total colectomy (also called an ileorectal anastomosis) then I underwent this procedure four years ago and I can give you some information/details of my experience.

I'll watch out for your reply on this posting.
