G-Day wieliczko, Apparently it is similar to gastric bypass as a form of weight loss if needed. I don't know anyone who's had it done, but someone could help from the group. Regards, IGGIE

Good Evening Bob and All,
I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.
Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,

No........but here's what AI says......and it's supposed to be smarter than us. Sounds good......all except maybe that last sentence. Seems AI is always trying to please everyone.......
"According to a 2022 study published in Bariatric Surgery Practice Patient Care, bariatric surgery is technically feasible for some patients with an ostomy, such as an ileostomy or colostomy. The study found that the surgery had a reasonable short-term safety profile and that patients with an ostomy didn't have an increased risk of dehydration or higher ostomy output after surgery. However, the study also noted that more research is needed to better understand how this population behaves after surgery."

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.
