No its like amputating a food or limb because they are beyond repair with too much trauma or infection. That is a better analogy.

The only con I have is very patient dependent. When the colon is removed the small bowel fills up that space. I have a race track 90 degree turn. This has caused one major intestinal blockage. Now I have to watch what I eat. like I did with the UC but for different reasons. No nuts or anything with peals. Just too much of a risk.

I also struggle with hydration. Which in turn can lead to kidney stones.

Had my bag for 5 years now. Best decision I have ever made. Best. I am 55 and run,bike , screw etc etc.

If you could do the county school budget for 5 years what would you change? I live here and my son goes to Seneca Valley.

Nah. I had my colon and rectum removed and it cured my UC. My GI surgeon was a freaking rockstar. I ran a 5k 3 weeks post op.
