Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

I also recently found out I have a redundant colon with a fixed closed Bend in the sigmoid. I've had one surgeon blow me off and tell me that either increase fiber or full colostomy bag. I know there has to be other options so I'm seeking a second opinion. I suffer with bladder issues due to the constant pressure. I struggle daily with getting things moving and the urinary issues.

I had surgery 3 years ago. I learned the redundant colon had caused the rectocele I had repaired several years earlier. When I hear urinary issue it sounds like possible rectocele. Sadly in my area 2 different surgeons do the two surgeries.
Make no mistake although Robotic surgery lessons scar tissues and healing time incision wise its still a major! surgery. Good luck!
