Steph, You're very welcome. Yes, I was thinking that the surgery in your case could be a bit complicated. What occured to me is that with your redundant sigmoid colon problem,they may want to address that at the same time they fix your recto- cele problem instead of having two surgeries. I didn't realize you were having severe constipation problems.A redundant sigmoid does definitely do that because the stool has problems going around the turns particularly since they are often very sharp turns.Well, I do have some good news,and it's not GEICO insurance. A good friend of mine at school here had a redundant sigmoid with a fair amount of diver- ticulosis in it and he recently had it resectioned. It's only been a month since the surgery, and he's doing great now! Happy as a clam in mud. Before the surgery, he could 'nt go to work and could hardly go out of his house, in real bad shape. Now, he's like a new man! Well, from what you've told me, it sounds like your in good hands with your doc's, and I think you'll come out of this in much better shape! Good luck with everything! -Bob
