I have an appointment tomorrow in reference to my bag reversal and reconstructing my stomach. Diverticulitis last year exploded a four-inch section of my gut. I stayed 79 days in the hospital and 7 weeks to learn how to walk again. I was told that septic shock syndrome affected my leg muscles, causing me to be unable to walk without "Forest Gump" braces. My left leg came back, but I still cannot control my right leg. The bag situation is my primary concern. I lost 90 percent of my stomach muscles due to some type of staff infection called "MRSA". Well, the bag is not flush and the adapter has to be placed at a half-moon position on the side, which causes it to leak quite a bit to the point I cannot attend many functions and am pretty much homebound. I am an avid outdoors person and would like to hunt and fish again.
