Reply to "Need Surgery"

Hi Ross, I'm near your age and had my surgeries last winter.  Like CTB I decided to have surgery before I got any older or sicker  (or developed cancer).  I also had laparoscopic procedures.  I was supposed to have a 2 step surgery, but unfortunately developed a leak & peritonitis and wound up with 4 surgeries.  I still recovered well and am 100% continent.  I can even *fart*at*will*.  I run and weightlift and plan to ski this winter.  Not everything is great, and I envy people who have a healthy colon, but it is not the end of an active life.  I do eat a low volume diet and also skip meals when I expect to have limited bathroom access.
