1 Year on from Surgery

Today is my one year annivesary from my ileostomy surgery.



I would like to this opportunity to say thank you to all on this site for their helpful tips and hints.



I have been very fortunate to eat all the food I ate prior to surgery.



I have also returned to my fasvourite hobby quad biking ,trail riding and camping with my family.



I did return back to work 6 weeks after returning home from surgery.



I also returned back to hospital 5 months later to have all the remaing bits removed. No J-Pouch option availble now.



I had some concerns with flying as my job required my to fly interstate on occusions.



Thanks to some of the post on this site my concerns where put to ease.



I have also had very little incidents with my waffers using some of the hints form this site.



Once again thank you all



I have been shy when it comes to writting post over the year.



I will try more in the coming future.



Regards

Mark

Im also just over a year after my colostomy op, and like you eat almost everything i ate prior to the op,

I took a long while to heal due to radiotherapy and chemo, but have recently got my 6 months All clear! which is brilliant

Ive been abroad, and going again soon!!, done a lot of swimming!! weekend away! all the normal things again, which at one point thought i would never do, i return back to work in a couple of weeks..

I agree with you, this site has helped me a lot, with reading the forums, profiles, handy tips,

and support, helps us realise we are not alone.

I must add, the bag is no real problem now either.



Thanks to all ,
