Am shortly going to see a recto-colon surgeon here in  Phoenix (second time).  Had the original 2 step surgery in Portland in 1997.  No real problems until about a year ago when I started seriously leaking.  Went to see the surgeon down here and he sent me to a urologist who did electro stimulation of the rectal muscles -- to little avail.  They said something about putting in wires and a battery pack to supposedly help control leakage.  That seems to me just postponing the inevitable.   My life is getting so miserable with this continually increasing leakage, I think I just want to go straight to an ileostomy.  Any particular questions I should ask the surgeon.  Am certainly open to any suggestions or positive or negative experiences anyone has had reverting to ileostomy. 

Thanks much.
