I've got a colostomy reversal scheduled for mid June. I HAVE to do this, as while having the colostomy 6 months ago probably saved my life, it also ruined what was left, I am alive but have virtually no life beyond maintaining the ostomy. Anyway, I am hoping to find people who've been through this with whom I might connect, and perhaps actually talk.The docs have explained the procedure, but I'm just not getting what I need so that I can go into this with some semblence of confidence and reduction of fear. I need to hear from others who've been through it. Anyone willing to speak with me, please contact me and let me know how to be in touch. Thanks for all your support.

I had my ileostomy reversed on October the twenty-third 2015. I was in the hospital for eight days due to nausea and vomiting. Finally, five days post op I was able to eat solids. I had very little pain with this operation. Except for being a little fatigued, I feel great! If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Good luck! Heidi

And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.

Hello! Hope your all, having a great start of your day! I have to say this place has been helpful in many ways and the people here, seem very real and mostly helpful in anyway! I usually don't bother anyone really and try to figure out different things on my own, but that is with common sense, but with experience definitely helps and I read stories and I have my own stories and it's been so much and it's nice to have friends here, who understand same kind of situation 😊
