I've been away for a couple of days in the hospital, but I'll probably write about that in a few days. This was part of the procedure that they did on the almost 2 years ago. It was part of my urostomy. The name is a little bit longer and I don't have it in my voice profile, but what they ended up doing was expanding the volume of my bladder, attaching a portion of my intestine to my bladder and running it up through my abdomen and creating a stoma to the right of my belly button.
I have had some mixed results, but for me it still is much better than what was occurring with my suprapubic. But I had some very unusual reactions to the suprapubic. I would be glad to talk to him about my experiences, but from what I've been told I am one of the few who have some negative results.
