Reply to "awaiting surgery"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

It is unclear to me why you would have a colostomy for life. Most of us have had our entire colon and rectum removed and do not have a permanent ostomy. Have you had a second opinion from another colorectal surgeon? I suppose if you have so much scar tisdue that it is not possible to have a j-pouch, then permanent ostomy seems reasonable. However, it would not seem likely that they would know this before surgery.

Your case is different, as most of us here have IBD or FAP.

But, welcome just the same and I hope we can be helpful for you!
