After having toxic megacolon, IPAA has been fantastic for me. Had it done nearly 2 years ago now!

Unfortunately I’m going on 19-20 years since my surgery with Dr. Hodin and sorry I ever did it. Even though I had really no choice I’ve been suffering every single day since then. It’s only gotten progressively worse for me and there’s really nothing more that can be done. We have exhausted every Avenue possible for me. Hopefully soon they will be able to perfect a transplant of the large intestine 🤷‍♀️
