So I met my surgeon yesterday and my next surgery date is June 21! But still have a loop ileostomy. The 3rd surgery will be 2-3 months after that. That means sometimes in August/September, I will be stoma free! It is still a loooooong way but definitely coming sooner or later. I was hoping to have a summer without a bag...
If there is any cancellation, he can move me up to May, he said.
That's news from me. Thank you for praying for a good outcome with the meeting of the surgeon.
I do feel relief. There is an end to this in the future.
Thank you, Lord!
