Hello everyone!
So, in 2015 I had a total colectomy and had an ileostomy made. In 2020, I had ostomy take-down surgery and it's been going terribly ever since. So, I plan on getting an ostomy again in January. Any tips? Has anyone else gone from ileostomy --> take-down --> new ileostomy? I didn't have this community back when I had the take-down surgery and I wish I had because I probably wouldn't have gone through with it since it's been so terrible and some of y'all have also had terrible experiences. So I'm just trying to make sure that I'm not making another colossal mistake. It seems like a good idea, but I just wanted to know about other people's experiences as well. <3
