Reply to "Ileostomy"

It is a big decision   I put it off a long time and shouldn't have. But this is my personal story. Everyone is different. That's for sure.

One small thing I do advise is that if you do get a stoma make sure your surgeon knows and that you want a long stoma.  Mine understood this and gave me a perfect one. 

I didn't think so at first. I couldn't look.  Now it's part of me but it took time to get used to it. Like anything. 

Your surgeon can leave enough to ty a pouch later. Even leaving your rear end intact. Mine did. But I'm not going through it again.  But I have the option.
