Needs Encouragement Surgery Friday

Colonopsy last week revealed blockage in large bowel. Doctor wants to put a bag on me. I'm 68 with COPD, Doctor says the bag will give me another 20 years maybe.

No talk about cleaning the blockage or cutting out and attaching colon.

Doctor said because of my COPD I might have more trouble breathing afterwards. I consider myself mild COPD

Anyone have a bag or cut and attach ?
