Thanks for sharing this woman's fantastic story, Bill.  Very, very, very impressive.  She ran it in 3 hrs, 30 min, 22 sec.

I am scheduled for my reversal on 12/4. All my pre-admin stuff is completed and my GI signed off on the clearance letter this morning. I am super excited and looking forward to not having a bag. I just hope all goes well and heals well so I don't wake up with a temp bag which will lead to yet another surgery.

I have learned a lot from this website and will continue to be on here even after surgery. To all the ostomates out there, keep your heads up and keep pressing forward. We all have good and bad days. Best of luck to you all.

I will be sure to post my progress after surgery. I'm praying for you all.

Congrats to her. Just more proof…a person controls their ostomy, the ostomy doesn’t control a person.

I am so in awe of Adele Roberts.  Does anyone have any idea how she would have managed her hydration for the marathon?
