Well, I have an ostomy pouch since October of 2012. The doctor told me that in order to do the reversal, I would have to lose almost 25 lbs, which is very, very hard with holidays and life. Anyway, now we are approaching summer and I still have it. I am scared to put on a bathing suit and how do I go in the water? I have a pool and I don't want it to get loose and have feces all in the pool, never mind being embarrassed. I don't know what to do. So scared.
