Ty so much for this video. I’m having my final surgery in 2 weeks and this video gave me way more hope than before:
This is golden info and extremely helpful as I'm having my reversal at the end of this month. Thank you for documenting and sharing! Wishing you all the best!
Thank you!! I hope everything goes well for your reversal and the recovery is smooth sailing!!
THANKS so much to you and all the commenters. I'm just out of chemo, reversal we hope in November. Need a couple of tests and a small procedure first.
Thank you so much. I had an ileostomy in 2019, it was due to be reversed in early 2020 but Covid hit. My surgery is tomorrow thanks to a last minute cancellation. Loved watching your videos, it feels like having a natter with a friend over coffee!
Aw I’m so glad my videos have helped! I hope everything goes well with your reversal surgery tomorrow!! I hope you have a smooth recovery! 💜
Have found your videos they are fabulous I ruptured my colon and had an ostomy for awhile. It was a very difficult adjustment to get used to, and no real guidance on what to do when things went wrong with it. Whit you telling your story I feel it will help others survive and gain insight on how to survive. May God bless you and your inspiration to others. Thank you for your videos
Thank you so much! I’m glad my videos have been helpful and hope you’re doing well!
Thank you
I have an Ileostamy and it is comeing off tomorrow. Ii had it since mid ish January.
Hello, we have done reversal colostomy of my mother in law in feb 2023 almost 6 months back but she is facing inside burn and pain issue alot.. She is crying due to this.. How to recover from this any suggestion pls.. Have you faced such kind of issue..
Thank you so much, I am having my reversal in 4 weeks. Did you experience any accidents after the reversal? I heard someone saying she had to wear a nappy. I am so scared.....
I hope everything goes well! I actually didn’t have any accidents. I even prepared for it by wearing Depends for a few days after my surgery just in case but it was very controlled. The only time I had a tiny accident was when I passed some gas and a very small wet spot came out with it. Now I pass gas only when I’m sitting on the toilet. I was surprised I didn’t have any accidents and no leaks either with my jpouch.
Thank you so much 🙏
I’m 2 weeks out and I occasionally have leaks, but I haven’t had a full accident since I was on heavy pain meds in the hospital. I’ve been wearing nappies at night just in case but haven’t needed it much, honestly you might just need to wear a longer menstrual pad.
Lars sucks big time
Hi
I went through ileostomy reversal 10 days back. Since last 1 week I am passing loose stool and my rectum and surrounding area burns burns burns like hell each time I pass the loose stool. I was told to apply MEBO, EMLA and now EMOFLON, however nothing works and no one know what to be done. Is it my food (eggs, bread, white rice, banana, chicken) or my LAR anastomosis or irritated skin or all of the above. Don’t know what to do. Any help will be appreciated
Maybe cause the poop is very acidic in the absence of colon. My son has ileostomy.
do you have diarrhea after surgery? how can we stop the diarrhea because I am losing a lot of weight from diarrhea?
Since my reversal surgery I haven’t had a lot of diarrhea. I’d consult with your doctor if you’re losing weight due to diarrhea. It’s always good to make your medical team aware of what is going on so they can help treat it.
How r u now,having better control?🎉
It’s gotten much better! I have no issues during the day with holding it when I get the feeling of needing to use the restroom.
Have you faced any inside burning issue after reversal?
I get butt burn occasionally. After the dilation procedure I had I had burning inside for about a week which was just due to the scar tissue I had and then the output being acidic.
@@lyndzerella any medication taken for this? Or any cream?
I use calmoseptine ointment for the butt burn and it helps heal the area that is irritated. My surgeon also has prescribed me a medication called lomotil which helps slow down output when it’s really liquidy.
