DEADorALIVE had his removed about 2 1/2 years ago. They ran a test to check function and his was only working at about 7% so he had it taken out and felt much better afterwards. However, he still usually has to find a bathroom within a half hour of eating and sometimes there isn't much time to find one when the urge hits.

BamBam, who will be 22 this month, had his out when he was three years old so he gas had most his life to adjust to it, but the same is true with him...he generally hits a bathroom not long after eating.

The youngest boy had his removed due to stones when he was eleven (now is 17) and he does the same.

In fact DoA has had to write notes for both boys for the teachers they had right after lunch so they could leave to go to the bathroom.

I have seen all three of them, on occasion, end up sprinting for a bathroom and come out commenting about how they almost didn't make it in time. Those times I would bet were real dependent on what they ate.

I still have mine, so I do not have firsthand experience, but from what I have been told, while the consistency should improve, you will likely find yourself learning to not stray too far from the facilities after a meal. If you travel much, you will also learn where all the bathrooms are along your frequently traveled routes.
