Surgeon at Mayo just yesterday told me there is no assurance that if hooked back up I won't have bowell issues the rest of my life ( I am 80) I cannot think of anything worse than not being in control of my bowels. The bag is a given, I know how to use it and I have zero issues, with that said I favor no hook up.

I understand completely. I made the same decision and I have my quality of life back now with no Colon. I hope for the best for you.
