I am a newbie and was wondering if anyone has a colostomy due to a rectovaginal fistula. I have had the colostomy since June 2007 and have tried on 4 different attempts to have the fistula corrected. In January, I am due to have another repair attempt using the gracilis muscle from my leg, then after recovery and if it holds, have the colostomy reversal along with a hernia repair. I am very apprehensive about this attempt to repair and really wonder should I go through with it or just keep the colostomy and just repair the hernia. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Tracy
