Hi, I have Peripheral Neuropathy for the past 3 years. I have to take oxycodone for the pain.Ever since I was on it, I had leaks in the bag. Anyone have problems with medicines causing leakage? Thanks! Pat

I have leaks, but not because of medications. Instead, my leaks are because my stoma sits in a skin fold. I change 4-5 times per day. I know what your going through. It's a dissability in itself.

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.
