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

After I got my ostomy I found this site and got a lifetime membership. I have had so much help from the core members, things that even the wound care nurses didn't know. If you haven't been through this journey you don't know - only the people that have experienced this first hand truly understand what your going through. The support is enormously helpful getting through this. Afterwards when you start to learn how to deal with this new normal you can begin to help others. ...mtnman.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
