About
I had UC and an ileostomy was performed in 1983 at 13. Ostomy surgery was successful although there was not enough intestinal tissue for for reversal. I am sure their techniques have probably improved since the 80's but other than some minor skin issues I have not had any complications. Plus it's been 40 years, it's basically all I know or remember.
