I got the colostomy 9/29/22 and had it taken down on Monday Just got home. I know there are bumps ahead and my abdomen is just about the ugliest mess you’ve ever seen but I am one very happy woman today. I have not posted much but I have read a lot of the comments here and they really helped me through this period. Thank you all the kind brave men and women going through this journey with me.

Woo hoo! Congrats! Hey, I thought the same thing when I got home and looked in the mirror after my reversal but as the swelling comes down it’s not as bad. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Take care, remember gentle healing, your body went thru a lot.
