Have huge stomach wound, size of a football, very little or no muscles, misshapen - ugh! As well as stoma/fistula...get down quite a bit because I cannot do physical things, I live by myself and am constantly draining ostomy day/night. Need friends to chat with. There is no way I can get a reversal as the stomach has thin skin now, no muscles, it's so ugly. If only my doctor had given me a colonoscopy test, I am sure this would not have happened. 4 months in the hospital, 6 surgeries, 3-week coma, heart stopped on the table. Can I take her to court for negligence?
