bowel surgery and SCD

[Guest guest]

Marilyn or any of the old timers;

Do you know the success rate of people that need surgery that also do the SCD

long term? What about recurrence of the disease?

I had my small bowel series today and my whole right side is involved with

*seen* strictures in the following areas;

Transverse, proximal hepatic flexure, right colon, ileocecal valve, terminal

ileum.

I also have a mass in the colon it *might* be dysplasia in the ascending colon.

It might be stool built up which is questionable since significant stool build

up (to see almost two inches on screen) would most likely cause an obstruction.

The doc said he did see what looked like a polyp right under this mass. Anyway,

we will know more after the colonoscopy. I am used to bad news and I just don't

like getting ahead of myself.

The doc looked at me in disbelief and kept saying " I cannot believe you don't

have more symptoms " anyway I will talk more about this in a following post..

For now.. They want to see what is going on inside and also if I have no disease

on left side (which means I am back to having Classic Crohn's) than I may be a

very good candidate for surgery. ly, if there is any Cancer I just want it

out.

I am staying on this diet- there is no question. Just wondering what success

people have with not having recurrence after surgery and being on the diet?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
