Hi, I think to help get people familiar with BCIR there should be some type of advertisements like ribbon, stickers, etc.  like the colon and colitis foundation.  I recently looked online and the CC(whatever) does mention the BCIR.  I had emailed them several times regarding their non information regarding the BCIR.  I totally understand those people who don't want the the BCIR or the like and those who don't want to go through any more operations and those who cannot get this particular operation.  But those of us who can; as far as I'm concerned it's a GOdsend...  And yes I have had some problems(only one or two) but this operation is, well I just can't explain it.
