I lost a lot of weight from diverticulitis. I now have a ileostomy. Will I gain my weight back? I had surgery March 14th. In August I weighed 195, I'm now 120.

Hi nothing4granted,
I suppose that will depend on your diet and your lifestyle.

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.
