Hi there.
I'm trying to find out if there are any pilots that have held a class 1 medical after having part or all of their large intestine removed due illness.
I believe that there a two-step procedure called a "j-pouch" which is available after having part or all of intestine removed. Essentially this reconnects the small intestine to the exit valve.
I can't find out anywhere as to whether or not one can be re-certified with Class 1 after having it done and interested to hear if anyone knows someone flying who has had it done.
Cheers and Beers
