I’ve never heard of that procedure. Interesting. I asked my CR surgeon about a colostomy rather than ileostomy because all my research indicated much easier to live with. She wouldn’t consider and just offered up another surgeon for second opinion. However, I’ve often found doctors in same practice tend to think same.
Just came across program at Mayo on “bowel training” that has high success rate. Am considering though pretty involved with at least two trips of one to two week stays. They are in MN and I’m in PA. But I’m at desperation point!

can you provide more info on how to get into this "bowel training"? I am in Minnesota and may consider that. thx.

Hi, I'm in PA and considered the trek to MN Mayo. When they expressed concern that it may not work for me and would be out of pocket pay I had to reconsider. I'm in south eastern PA.
