Thanks for all the replies! I feel confident about life after this whole thing is done....it’s just getting to the “all done” part. Do they literally staple your butt shut or do they use stitches? Either way-is there anything (like stitches or staples) that need to be removed b/c that sounds extra scary! N/A-let me know when you have surgery scheduled. I am scheduled for the second week of January. I am trying to survive with my cranky stoma b/c we are going on vacay in November for my daughter’s 16 b-day. Hang in there TF! I hope you can continue to get by without surgery! Personally, nothing makes be feel crazier than impending surgery and hospital stays. Yuck!
