Sue (Had BCIR Surgery in April 1991)

I had an Ileostomy anastomosis that failed. The pullthrough was a mistake I lived with for six years because I refused to have an external ileostomy bag. I was miserable beyond imagination. My life was limited to getting through it with as little pain as possible. Since the BCIR, my life has been remarkable. I can eat anything I want. I can exercise, travel, ride in a car or airplane, all with no pain and no concern about making it to a restroom. Having the BCIR has given me back my life and made it worth living again.
