HI, my grandma is going to get her colon removed on April 1st. She will have to have a colostomy bag. I want to make her a little reading material on what to expect after this procedure.
Does anyone have any little facts or findings form either their own personal experience with this or know of any. Thanks!
A friend of mine had a similar surgery actually. She had her colon removed and had to wear a bag temporarily. She then had another surgery to tie her small intestine in to a "makeshift" colon. So on the bright side she doesnt have to wear a bag forever... on the downside she does have to go to the bathroom after almost every meal.
Colonoscopy is a common and very safe test that examines the lining of your lower intestinal tract. Colonoscopy means "to look inside the ...
My mother had some of her colon removed a few days ago because of cancer and i was wondering how a person will feel or side effects after the surgery?She was looking good yesterday but today she is getting sick,has shortness of breath, and has massive diarrhea.Opinions?
That is going to happen. She will have bad diarrhea for a good few days at least, and when it stops being runny she may find it hard to hold it in, depending on what part of her colon was removed. Her bowel movement will be erratic. She may have a day where she doesn't go at all, or a whole day of constantly going. Through my experience this should last for a few weeks, but it definitely gets better. When she has diarrhea, make sure she drinks plenty of fluids.
She should eat some jelly babies, I was advised to eat that by my doctors when I had this same surgery, apparently it helps somehow. Peppermint tea is also good for any discomfort she feels in her stomach and bowels.

The colon was removed and the person now has a ileal anal reservoir . My concern is that since there is no colon how would the use of these items effect the other organs and absorption into the body.
Without further information, it is possible that the colon was removed consequent to recreational drug use, e.g. development of ischemic colitis from cocaine. Given the operation, it was probably done for treatment of ulcerative colitis.
That issue aside, the removal of colon should not cause any malabsorptive or other nutritional deficiencies. The normal small bowel typically delivers some 1000-1200 cc of liquid stool to the colonin 24 hours, and colon removes fluid from this.
After a colectomy, anything that would increase stool volume and thus diarrhea can be expected to be much more noticable. The pharmacokinetics of alcohol, and other orally ingested or inhaled substances should not be effected. However, I am not knowledgeable about potential enterohepatic circulations of recreational drugs as far as reabsorption through the colon would be concerned.
I had my colon removed and had several other major surgery's that cause me to almost die, so now im getting better and need help to know how I get back in shape for sports, because baseball is coming up.
I had part of my colon removed and had to wear a colostomy bag for a year. Then I had a second operation so I wouldn't have to wear the bag anymore. After I recovered I started working out, lifting weights. I am now in the best shape of my life. I highly suggest you join a gym and start working out.
I need to know this as I wish to join the Navy and have had my colon removed for medical reasons.
So, I would like to know please. It would help a lot.
Whatever the cause it would certainly be considered a bowel problem. I suspect that within limits for certain posts even the Royal Navy might now be an equal opportunities employer. However it might depend if you have an ileostomy, or have had an end to end anastomosis to the rectum. Either way the Navy will apply to your GP for a full medical report and will require you to have a full medical, but they would do that for anyone.

I Learn Something Everyday (From My Blog)
A couple of weeks ago, a reader of my blog sent me a donation. Then her husband ordered one of my bracelets for her for their anniversary. And in the midst of the writing back and forth, I learned part of her story.
Being me, I asked to know more. And I learned something that surprised and shocked me: This woman has a rare genetic condition that results in a 100 percent lifetime risk of developing colon cancer, plus an increased risk of a number of other cancers.
It's called familial adenomatous polyposis.
Jeannie was diagnosed two years ago, at age 29. Here is her story.
Not satisfied with the care I was receiving initially, I finally ended up at M.D. Anderson for management of my disease. One of the best doctors specializing in my disease is there, and I have been quite pleased with my care thus far. I'm currently wrapping up a clinical trial of how Celebrex works to reduce the growth of colon polyps. It started with a sinus infection, for about four months. The doctor kept giving me antibiotics. Then I switched primary care physicians, and was referred to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. I'd been suffering from gastric reflux for about a year, since my baby was born, and the ENT recommended I see a gastroenterologist. It was up to me to figure out what additional testing I would need. Fortunately, I have a wonderful primary care provider who took it upon himself to research the disease. He set me up with a new GI doctor, an endocrinologist, and an abdominal and brain MRI. My local GI doctor referred me to M.D. Anderson, because he does not have the expertise in FAP that I needed. My aunt suffered greatly from the various manifestations of FAP. She had her colon removed, but she developed desmoid tumors as a result of the abdominal surgery. These are a rare soft tissue sarcoma. They can take over the organs in the abdomen, crowding them out and can be fatal. They are treated with chemotherapy and/or surgery. FAP can present differently in each individual. Within my own family, we are all over the spectrum with varying degrees of severity. With classic FAP, an individual will develop hundreds to thousands of colon polyps and progression to colon cancer occurs by around age 39. With the attenuated form, the individual develops fewer polyps and progression to cancer occurs around age 50. ... Individuals with FAP are at an increased risk of other cancers, including those of the duodenum, thyroid, and brain. I find it comforting that he consults with the patient rather than talking down to the patient. At my first visit, I brought in a medical binder filled with research documents, copies of pathological reports, blood work, and questions. I'm the type of person who wants all the details. I always ask for copies of reports, and I have been known to question a doctor on their decision.
