Hi Billie
I once had ulcers around my stoma and a ET nurse had given me a referral to a dermatologist that specializes in this area .The doctor did a few tests and prescribed me some ointment.and is all cleared up, it was very bad, had nurses coming in every other day.I had all the dressings for the wound too. Try to talk to your family doctor to get a referral. Good luck

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.
