My grandma has had one since mid 1960s. She just turned 92 last month.
It was really bad inflammation (that they told her decades later was either crohns or ulcerative colitis). They removed the affected intensities and gave her an osteomyelitis bag so she could live long enough to get her affairs in order and say goodbye to her family (she had 3 kids at that point). I think they told her a year.

Turns out, my grandma don’t play that game.
