Not sure how I diverged from your question...
I suggested the Ostomy board for a reason. Lots of people there have had their rectums removed, whereas on this board there is virtually nobody who has. Usually I'm the sole answerer in these types of threads. And I'm no expert, clearly.
Just noticed the bit about
insurance in your second post. I live in the UK, so insurance issues are something I'm even less equipped to give advice about
. If you are being turned down for surgery because of insurance, that seems like a separate topic in its own right: most folks here are from the US and some could probably give you decent advice if you made a new topic about
it.
