Hi everybody in Ostomyland! I have a question that I would like to ask you guys if you know anything about BCIR. I stumbled upon this procedure by accident and I was kind of curious if this is something that may be good for someone who doesn't want to be bag dependent. I have read that this surgery can be performed at the Palms of Pasadena Hospital in Florida. I don't know if it could be performed anywhere else or not. All the reviews that I have read were good and all the patients said that this was the best decision that they ever made! Of course, reviews can be overrated and made up just to sell something. So I really don't put a lot of stock in it. If this does work and if my insurance does cover it, it may be something that I may be interested in. To have control over when you go to the bathroom sounds great! No more blowouts, and most importantly, no more appliances hanging off the belly! Saves money in the long run also... So people, if you know anything about this, please tell me, okay? Hope to hear from you guys soon on this matter. Take care... Chris
