The large intestine, also called the colon. It is possible to live without it, going through 3 surgeries (you also have the option to only get the first surgery) and having an ileostomy/colostomy. When you don't have a colon, it is a good idea to drink at least 64 oz. of water each day, to keep from dehydration, as it is very easy to get dehydrated without a colon.
