Struggling with Severe Constipation and Surgery

Hi my name is Maddisen I’m 17 and a junior in high school. Since 2017 I have suffered from severe constipation I would go weeks without a bowl movement even on the right medications. The doctors would say I have IBSC Irritable bowl syndrome with constipation. I would go in the hospital for yearly clean outs. In the summer of 2021 things just got worse I stopped pooping all together. The Meds I was talking just stopped responding. The doctors figured out my motility of my colon stopped worked all together in October of 2021 I went and got surgery to get a Cecostomy tube after a couple months of struggling with the Cecostomy tube of poop squirting out they finally figured out something is not right so certainly I’m in the hospital waiting to get more testing hopefully they figure out what’s wrong!!
