Wow... haven't been on here since 2009 before my second ostomy reversal.
But here I am again. I will be getting surgery in June for an ostomy bag again, but this time permanent. I didn't really have a choice. It was either this or antibiotics with leakage. But I have been with leakage for a year and a half now, and I dislike it. Antibiotics every month, sometimes twice a month. So you see, no real good choices. But this time my husband passed 3 years ago, and he was so kind to help me with the preparation. Well, I am not looking for a new man as I loved and miss him very much. We were married 45 years, going on 46 when he passed. But I was on this website 15 years ago, and it sure helped me back then.
