Actually not, "All healed up."

Was scheduled for my reversal January 20th. Canceled the morning of due to the previous day's CT scan showing a possible abscess. Gastro has no clue why white count is up. Infectious disease doctor has me on oral antibiotics for 6 weeks.

Went to a urologist. All clear.

Went to a GYN, all clear.

Still have odd discharges. No one can figure it out.

My gastroenterologist is my surgeon. Same.

Only 8 months post-op? You need time to adjust. It took me 3 years before I traveled out of state (in my car). 4 years before I rode on a jet. If you are having a lot of leaks or blowouts, see an ostomy nurse. Be kind to yourself and reward yourself constantly. Build confidence. Miraculously, I've had no leaks for over 18 months.
