A total colectomy sounds extremely drastic to me.  Maybe this will help you.

Although written by a vet (a very reputable vet at that), it applies to pets as well as humans because we are all "simple-stomached." I would think it's certainly worth a try before agreeing to surgery.

Hope this helps.

Dear Ruth...while it sounds as though you have a Dr. with some smarts...a total large bowel removal sounds very drastic. Is there something that the very wise and knowledgable people here can help you with? Anyone? V In a message dated 3/22/2007 5:44:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

    Hi, My cholesterol also runs around 200-220 and has for quite a
    few years,
    at least since I've been tested.  Fortunately my Doctor does not
    buy into
    the cholesterol humbug, so I have not been put on drugs.  Of
    course, part of
    the reason for this, I'm sure, is that my digestive tract problems
    would
    make figuring out a drug to use would be difficult if not
    impossible.  He
    has had enough trouble with trying to get me to take tranquilizing
    drugs, (
    not sure if this is the right category), and various other things
    that are
    supposed to help my bowel problems.  He has given up on the
    medicines.
    Thankfully, but now recommends total large bowel removal.. I am
    resisting
    this, so far.  Ruth
