I'm waiting for the 2nd surgery to close the ostomy, I had a surgery appointment a couple weeks ago and the doctor said I'll get a call or letter soon to have the reversal...looking forward to not having to wear the bag, it's awkward..but I do feel a lot better since early this year and having the colectomy and hysterectomy (in the same surgery).

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll discuss irrigation with my doctor. I'm sure it would be down the road. My output is still very liquid. It's all so unpredictable at 6 weeks post-op. I have such a fear of constipation as I struggled with this forever. I used a fiber source to thicken the stool but it hasn't helped very much. I guess I will continue to be positive but it is a bit of a pain. This website is great and everyone is so informative. Cheryl
