Thank you!
During your consultation stage with your surgeon, did he advise you that if the diseased area of the colon was worse that expected , he may have to add a colostomy bad to aid in healing?

yes, he advised that if he had to take out more of my diseased colon, I would probably have to have a colostomy bag. Fortunately, I did not.

Yes, he said that was a possibility, but only a small chance. The resection can usually be done without the colostomy first or forever.
