I am getting my 1 year anniversary stretch today! It was every 2 weeks for the first six months and then bouncing from every 3 weeks to every 4 weeks. I think my brain is so full of anesthesia that I might be immune by now. Dr has never gotten over 20mm so look at a ruler and see if all your poop would get past that. All fiberous scar tissue.
Been on the skyrizi now since maybe last June or so. Going good so far.
I also get my upper endoscopy today , so a two fer😂 one time they did both a upper and a colonoscopy with 2 Drs and saw each others lights. But that was many years ago. Probably not allowed any more. Was the only way to be sure they inspected the whole length. * for those that don't know I only have about 3 feet of intestine*
Finished my 26th year of TPN intravenous feeding at xmas. Pretty damn long time.
We need a check in post . used to do it once a year. Maybe someone can start one just to see who is around anymore or maybe the site is just dying out.
That's my update, randy
All went well.😋
Glad to hear!

Hey Randy,
Glad you're getting by pretty well. You've certainly endured a lot more than most. The TPN alone a considerable undertaking. Can't believe how many stretches you've had. Are you stable now as far as the stretching goes, or will they just be less frequent?
I'm on board with your suggestion of a "check in post". I have some news to share and will likely post tomorrow. I've noticed the inactivity on the forum of late. That usually means most are doing well, at least I hope that's the case.
