Message: [QUOTE="llandz, post: 2667925, member: 1679"] No. Even his first surgery they did not know the intestines attached to the stomach wall, and they had to remove a portion of the wall. With any surgery, of any kind, you can find unknowns once you actually go inside. No test or machine is perfect. They knew last summer that he had the limit of bad intestines, and even 1 more cm would result in a bag. When they did the MRI they saw he did not get any worse. The surgeon even thinks he can get away with a little less than the gastro thought. I think it is better that he had the worse prognosis. He will be there someday, and he adjusted to the idea now, so when it does happen, he will be better about it. And really there is still a slight chance that he will come out of surgery on Friday with a colostomy bag. [/QUOTE]
