Hi, i’d be interested in people’s experience with either, these are the two options available to me.

If the tamis doesn’t get it all then i’d probably be due for the resection, on the other hand tamis could be fine.

Tamis seems the easier option as i’m anxious about going under, and actually had the procedure to remove polyps already so it’s familiar, i’ve never had general anaesthetic so nervous about that also.

Could i be worse off if i don’t have the resection, that’s supposed to be the better option, but the thought of having a stoma grosses me out, having a pipe coming out of me, sleeping with the bag, complications, leaking bag etc..

Still unsure what to do at this stage, welcome your feedback
