Welcome Olga!


Here is some basic information about ostomies; hopefully you'll find some helpful info within...


http://digestive.health.ivillage.com/digestivetreatments/colostomy.cfm


Please visit often and check back to see if any of our members reply to you. I am not sure if anyone has had this surgery, but it's possible that a lurker has been watching/waiting for another (you!) to talk with.


Has your doctor suggested having this surgery? What symptoms do you have and what treatments have you tried so far?

Hello elise,I had to have a colostomy originally,then after more surgery i had an ileostomy this was performed after i had to have a cystoplasty to enlarge my bladder.but unfortunatly the part of the bowel where they removed to implant,became very narrow through scar tissues and i developed intermittent bowel blockaging,which resulted in the surgery for both ostomies..
I was just wondering if there was anyone who may have had such surgery and who would like to talk about any problems or tips we could discuss..
I have never really been able to talk to some one who has had this,i am new to the internet and i have found that there is places where i could talk and ask questions..
many thanks OLGA..
