Recovery time for Rectal Removal Surgery (Barbie Butt)?

May 23, 2017 - Jul 29, 2018
Hi, I am new to this site. I had a colostomy last March and have made out great. This was done because of chronic UC. They left the rectum with the idea I could have a reversal. I had pretty much made up my mind to not have a reversal because I like having the control I have now of bathroom breaks, etc. Problem a couple of weeks ago, I started having bloody mucus and feeling of urgency, thinki ...

Slow Recovery from Barbie Butt Surgery - Seeking Advice for Healing

Aug 15, 2018 - Aug 24, 2018
Hi.
Well, it's been 6 weeks since my surgery. It really has been a slow recovery. I'm a little disappointed.

I feel like I'm doing everything like I'm supposed to - keeping it dry, clean, and using a fan on it. However, I still can't sit for long because it's very tender. It stings sooo b ...

So everything is good to move forward with the K/B butt, fixing parastomal hernia and prolapsed stoma.
First offer for surgery was October! I politely declined and asked for ASAP. Two plus years of blockages, ileostomy surgery, ridiculous am ...

Successful Surgery and a Happy Barbie Butt!

Nov 14, 2011 - Nov 23, 2011
Hi all!
The surgery (proctectomy/sphincter saved) went very well. Had ileo in Dec 09.
Had an awesome surgeon who did some magic - he's tops in BC - one of the 5 top rated in Canada. What did he actually do? Why do I not have a messy or hurting bum? Who knows ... these surgeon rock stars are not the best communicators. I have a follow-up appointment on Dec 19 and want to know exactly what was d ...

Barbie butt not healing after surgery! Worried about reopening.

Jun 11, 2022 - Aug 05, 2022
Hi there, has anyone had long-term issues with their surgery not healing? I had mine 14 months ago! It was healed up to one very tiny spot. Dr. applying that silver sulfadiazine in the office once a month. It almost healed. Then that spot opens. Then two.
