Is there somewhere on personals that indicate what type of Ostomy each member has?  I am hoping to have a Colostomy reversal and was wondering how successful that is? I still have most of my colon so far....a rupture almost killed me.  Any suggestions on curing constipation?  If I can't correct it the whole colon goes when the colostomy is reversed....Please, any suggestions.

hiya! i have a illeostomy and i also hope to get a reversal,i just spoke to the surgeon who is going to be doing it a few days ago,and i asked him the same question and he told me everyones is different and he cannot predict or estimate success,but he also said it is worthwhile to go ahead with the procedure as if it works great,and if it doesnt then at least they tried it,good luck with yours and i ope it all turns out the way you want

Great place for newbies to learn, I have helped many folks on here learn to irrigate, plus learned a few tricks myself. Great informative site.
