Thanks Lori. My surgeon just disconnected my small bowel from the pouch and brought out the top part for the Ostomy, so it’s an end Ostomy not a loop. The stoma is perfect and I feel so much better without the pouch and all the abdominal and rectal problems. It’s just the volume of mucous that’s the problem. As you said...”Darn intestines” doing their job. I don’t want more surgery, just thought maybe there’s a medicine or something that would help. Thanks again!
