I've heard of that '2 op' procedure but I don't know why. Maybe its where exactly the section is removed from or possibly the surgeon's preference. In any case, mine was all dealt with in one go.Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2017 12:54 pmI was under the impression I'd have to have an op to remove the offending section, then wear a bag for a few weeks whilst it healed and then another op to join it all back up again?dr_john wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2017 12:32 pm I had the op you are talking about (right hemicoloctomy i believe) but in my case it was due to bowel cancer so I didn't have much choice!
Obviously major surgery, I had a keyhole procedure and was back home in 2 days. I took a few weeks to get fully mobile again. Not too painful, more of a mental thing. They stitch the tubes back together again so there's no nasty bags to contend with.
That was 5 years ago and everything seems fine now, no lasting side effects.

Hope you are feeling somewhat better now Mike. Take it easy!
