Episode 107 (Raw & Uncensored): Dr. Elie Schochet — Fifth Time's a Charm, Pre-Op With My Colorectal Surgeon

This one's too important for a paywall. The full raw and uncensored audio is free for everyone. The video episode is exclusive to Spotify subscribers and HungerFF.com and JustFor.Fans members.

Four days before my colostomy reversal, my colorectal surgeon Dr. Elie Schochet comes over for his second time on Brolapse. After four delays, this is attempt number five, and I asked him everything.

We get into:

- How one day in pediatrics sent him to surgery, and why his practice is about 80% LGBT

- Why lying to your doctor about what you do in bed can get you a surgery that ends your ability to bottom

- How to find a doctor who won't flinch, from word of mouth to the GLMA directory

- The South Florida ostomy peer network, and playing with a bag

- What a reversal actually is, and why the stars have to line up before he'll operate

- Blood clots, compression sleeves, and why I'll be frog-legged in stirrups for hours

- Staples vs. hand sewn, and why we chose staples for me

- The "double barrel" connection, and why going in blind means you won't feel the wrong fork until you're through it

- How my prolapse is the same size and structure it was before the accident

- Why some people keep the bag for good, and why I'm not

- Leak rates, and why day four or five matters most

- The six week minimum before any play, and how to start back

- Why most perforations he sees come from firm toys, not fists

- Losing Wrex Wylde, and finding support when recovery gets hard
