Hello, I am looking for other ladies who have had APR surgery with a permanent colostomy and hysterectomy at the same time. I want to know what recovery was like and any tips you can share.

Hello and welcome to meet an ostomate. The site charges a fee only for Full Membership, you can still interact with members here via the forums and the public chat room with free membership. The site charges a fee since it has expenses ... as do all websites, people have to spend their time to run and maintain the site, buy bandwith, servers, and other things. I am a life member here, it cost me 56$....about the price of 1 cup of coffee a week for a year. I think that is a very small charge for such a big reward. In my opinion this site is the best ostomy-related web site on the net. I hope you will stick around awhile and see for yourself. I do not own or am I in any manner connected to this site except as a member. regards. mmsh

I had a colostomy reversal and hysterectomy at the same time. It was a very smooth procedure... and I had a great recovery... honestly, which I attribute to the fact that the uterus and ovaries were taken out as they were causing me so much pain.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
