I have a friend that had the same thing as you. They went in repaired the sigmoid/bladder and removed part of the sigmoid colon. She did require a bag for a while until she was healed. Several months later, they reversed the procedure and she no longer has a bag.

Thank you anniegk. Yes, I have until 4/3 to mentally prepare to wake up with the news of a bag. (god help me) I do understand that the surgeon had to give me the worst case scenarios.
I'm just sick that I have to go 5 more weeks of living like this . But my urologist wanted to wait for this particular 5 star surgeon (General Surgery | Robotic Assisted Surgery)
I truly am like a disabled person.
I need to have quick access to a bathroom.
