I'm not sure where to post this question on the website. Has anyone undergone an actual colon transplant (I don't mean a reversal)? I recently came across information that there were 109 intestine transplants in 2017, from 113 available donors in 2017, and 251 patients currently on the waiting list with the cost exceeding a million dollars. When I inquired about this in 2016 after my ileostomy, I was told by a doctor (?) or someone that this type of transplant surgery didn't exist, but I think I was offered that misinformation because my health insurance certainly won't pay for it.
