To anyone that can help,I went to see my Doctor on 1/21/09 ,I told my Doctor that I have decided to get the colostomy bag do to the fact that my Leakage is getting very uncomfortable,so I asked my Doctor again would the Surgery be permanant she said yes,I responded that I heard of other people that been through the same thing that I have been through and they have had the colostomy bag temporary,but my Doctor still said it would be permanant,so I told her that I want to speak to the Surgeon so she referred me to the Surgeon which I will go see on 1/27/09 and if he says the same thing I will get another opinion,So PLEASE.....if anyone out there has any information for me about the COLOSTOMY BAG can you PLEASE....get back to me ASAP......THANK YOU AGiftForGOD.
