Back from Nashville and I survived! The day was very intense, yet I was thankful for such nice staff and nurses at the hospital. My doctor recommended the Laproscopic IPAA ( Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis) surgery as the other two doctors suggested.....so I'm doing it. I guess it does make me feel better that 3 out of 3 doctors feel this is the best choice for me. Yet, it is scary signing documents to have your colon and rectum ripped out, and receiving a complimentary "poop" pouch for a few months.
So, I met my Stoma/ Ostomy nurse (who was great), and she marked my spot. It's not attractive, however as long as I feel better and get back to feeling like myself this surgery will definitely be worth all the pain and discomfort. It's been a rough last 4 years and the medication is awful; I can't wait to feel good again!!!
