My new Game Plan

Postby sammi79 » Tue Sep 01, 2020 4:05 pm

I just had my follow-up with the GI. He wants me to do the Vanco for 2 more weeks then start to taper. If things come back and symptoms don't improve, we will go for the FMT. I STRESSED that I am 100% ready for the FMT and don't want to mess around with medications after this. He said right now the biggest issue is the lack of donor stool and only one hospital on our area does the FMTs. I'm hoping the new doctor I am trying to get in with will let me pick my donor!

Anyway, I am ok with this game plan for now. My referral with the new GI has been received and they are just working on getting me in as a new patient ( I called today). So hopefully that appointment is on the horizon soon. I actually feel like I am moving in the right direction.
