I am new to this forum. I had an ileostomy for one year and just had it reversed in August of 2014. I am having a difficult time and would like to meet individuals and have them share their experiences with me. I am seriously considering going back to the bag as I definitely feel that my quality of life was better. I should have done more research on my own. However, my surgeon explained as if it was a simple: "five to six BMs a day controlled with imodium and lomotil." I have learned that it entails sooooo much more than that. I would love to hear from others!
