I had a temporary ileo in 2011 for 11 months due to a carcinoid tumor in my rectum. I had a Lower Anterior Resection with Meso Excision (lymph nodes removed). I have been reconnected for 5 months and overall things are doing well.
I would like to hear from others who have had this type of surgery and still have your rectum and colon. I have pain sometimes and pressure, like the feeling of something down there. I understand that it has to restretch as my rectum is shorter now. It comes and goes and is definitely getting better, but I would love to hear similar stories.
