I am contemplatig a reconnection operation in July and would like to hear from all of on your thoughts about it. I had to have emergency surgery last March due to a blockage and ended up with an ostomy. I am having trouble affording the bags, paste and powder, so would like to have it redone, but have heard many horror stories.I am 66 years old and in fairly good health other then that, but have had colitis since I was 21. I do not have any insurance and my medicare won't kick in until july so i have to wait until then.Would like to hear from some of you bad or good.
