I did look at that but it seems to me that it had a lot of problems associated with it like having to use a catheter to empty the internal pouch. So I decided to go with the pouch (ileal) diversion.

May I ask if you ever considered an Indiana Pouch? We are trying to decide.

I empty mine every 30 to 45 minutes depending on how much I drink.

Ok that's not too bad. Thank you for sharing. Can I ask how about many times you feel you need to empty pouch a day based on only a quarter full?

We have Medicare with a Kaiser Permanente Medicare advantage supplement. Medicare pays 80% and Kaiser pays 80% of the difference. The rest is our responsibility.

Wow, it is good to hear you are doing well. It seems holster is the go to place for accessories. Does insurance cover cost of bags?
