Have just reached 1 year anniversary of my colostomy op. At least this year I don't have to spend the holidays recuperating from surgery. It has been a tough year. Hopefully 2012 will be better. I've missed chatting with you all but you are in my thoughts and I wish you all a wonderful holiday!

Be well my friend, BEG

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.
I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.
I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.
