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!

"2012" is going to be spectacular... I just know it!!!! Let's go into it with nothing less than optimism and great expectation... We'll call it "Our Healthy, Safe and Prosperous New Year"...
Be well my friend, BEG

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.
