Hello everyone, I have had problems with my loop colostomy for over a year. I am now on a waiting list to close off the end to prevent blockages and poop coming out of my bottom. Can anyone advise what happens with this surgery?

Hi, I see this is your first post. Sorry, I can't advise. There are some here who have had the surgery that will jump in. Welcome.

You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.

Hi Debi - what surgery are you having? Are you being reconnected to your colon?
