Hi all. I have my 3 month followup with the surgeon Thursday after reversal last September. I am so happy to be done with treatment, but am still having lots of accidents and clustering. At times this was very painful and I was having a lot of bleeding but that hasn't been an issue the last few weeks. Now I have between 10 and 30 bms a day and I really can't sense that anything is happening til it is too late, thus the accidents. I get thru the day pretty well but evenings are worse. For about two months I was using citrucel, but have discontinued for now as it didn't seem to help. As far as I can tell immodium has zero impact on me. I have been keeping a food journal but haven't really drawn many conclusions other than sometimes alcohol seems to make things worse.
I am going to talk to him about this, and am wondering if there are any specific medications, protocols, etc that I should ask him about? Obviously best case is finding a way to improve control and reduce the number of bms each day. If this doesn't happen it would at least be great to have something I could take to stop things up so I can have a night out, travel, etc without worrying.
Thanks
Cathy
