Back passage Removal

Hi everyone,



I am new to this site, I have an illeostomy for the last 5yrs due to crohns disease on thur 3rd May 2012 i am going in hospital for surgery to have my backpassage removed as it has been giving me a lot of trouble over the last 12months as crohns is present in the stump, foam and everything else has been tried and it just dosent work anymore so it has 2 come out,  i am afraid not of the operation but when i wake up just dont want 2 be in any pain!  

If any one has any advice it will be much appreciated! Nikkixx

Don't be worried about pain. I had mine done and cant remember being in any real pain after my op, modern anaesthetics are wonderful things,,, spaced man!!!

. When your off the powerful pain relief the healing process will be well under way. The minor discomfort you will encounter will be so worth it when all those complications your back passage has been giving you are a thing of the past. Just look forward to no more drugs and foam. The best of luck, DD.

Thankyou so much for your reply i hope this is the case for me also.

I had this surgery last June and was really scared as it is very difficult to get my head around, however I had good pain relief immediately after surgery and was back home within the week.

The healing process for me has been quite lenghtly, I have been told this is normal.  Please don't worry, I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

AWWWW Im sooo sorry have i missed surgery date ???? I went through this operation in 2008 and yes that rectal foam didnt help me with my crohns  and stricture right above the stump that was left after the 7 previous ops ..BIGGEST THING HAPPENED TO ME WAS I HAD AN AWFUL IFECTIUON 3 DAYS POST OP ----PLEASE TRY NOT TO EVEN USE THOSE TOILETS UGH sorry but my supposed rectum was gone with water pouring out ,also needed blood transufusion which seemed to make me sick as soon as it got to my blood stream -no they didnt listen until next day i was told "Oh you had a bad reaction to your blood type " well BLOW MEE DOWN ugh ...



I was in for 10 days and couldnt seem to feel any better for a much longer time i still have mucus weeping 4 years later but was told "normal in crohns patients " UGH what a load of shite ..so sorry if you i have missed you . BUTTTT good luck this was my experience only , and looks like it wasnt as bad for some other people on here seems we cant all have the perfect operation or more saying after the Damage is done ...If only i knew i would of left having my stoma and rectum intact butt we dont know the future plus was my 8th operation since 1995 so i guess having severe adhesions saying this mite be your first adn last operation maybe if i only had the 1=2 operations things might have been better in my circumstances ---------If anyone doesnt reallly need too much surgery i would say these days HELL NOOOO , except for plastic surgery hahahaha TRUE

Hi , I had this surgery done almost 4years ago, like you i was having probs with leaking but i had UC, the doc wanted me to try rectal meds i told him i wanted it gone. you get great pain relief, but would advise you to get a doughnut (cushion) as it will help when sitting, found mine great

i dont know if  i spelt that right, sorry. hope this helps all the best braveheart.

hi nik i have to disagree with braveheart and not get a donut pillow as they tend to spread the cheeks and cause discomfort i would recommend an egg crate type of pad or pillow, good luck with your surgery and a fast recovery.  ron in mich

you would want to have very big cheeks for them to spread with a doughnut cushion.

Over 3 years without a smoke or drink and then I get cancer, not saying it is not the best thing I have ever done and how much extra money I have now, but it really sucked for me. but I will never smoke again, even with the cancer I feel a lot better now not smoking.



Glad to hear about your improving health, hope you are soon able to even kick watching The Days of Our Lives, That should drive anyone back to work,



Good luck,



Bob
