My wife has had a reversal but has been finding that even after 4 years she still has to constantly visit the loo, making her very sore. We are unable to go for a walk any distance unless there are public toilets nearby. We cannot go to the theater or cinema. On our last visit to the hospital, she was asked if she would like to have a colostomy, which we are told she would only have to visit the loo once a day or every other day. It seems there are two types: one with a plug or cap and one with a bag. We have to do some research on both options, the operation, the pros and cons.
Any advice or info would be great.
