Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Steph, You're very welcome. Yes, I was thinking that the
surgery in your case could be a bit complicated. What occured
to me is that with your redundant sigmoid colon problem,they
may want to address that at the same time they fix your recto-
cele problem instead of having two surgeries. I didn't realize
you were having severe constipation problems.A redundant
sigmoid does definitely do that because the stool has
problems going around the turns particularly since they are
often very sharp turns.Well, I do have some good news,and
it's not GEICO insurance. A good friend of mine at school
here had a redundant sigmoid with a fair amount of diver-
ticulosis in it and he recently had it resectioned. It's
only been a month since the surgery, and he's doing great
now! Happy as a clam in mud. Before the surgery, he could
'nt go to work and could hardly go out of his house, in
real bad shape. Now, he's like a new man! Well, from what
you've told me, it sounds like your in good hands with your
doc's, and I think you'll come out of this in much better
shape! Good luck with everything! -Bob
