I am having colonoscopies every 6 months. About 20 polyps are removed each time. They are all adenomas. My doctor is strongly recommending Ileorectal Anastomsis. I am in good health. I’m torn about what to do. Is there anyone who has had this surgery who could tell me what to expect especially with regards to how often and how urgent you need to use the bathroom. I am very active and don’t want to be housebound. My doctor says I should be more concerned about getting cancer than the side effects of surgery
