Reply to "permanent ileostomy problems--terrified to get the surgery"

CatyMember

I had a large, indented scar on my right side, so the surgeon put the permanent ileostomy on the left. I also had a fistula and many, many repairs, but it never closed. Please read my posts on my page. Permanent ileostomies are so much easier than temporary ones. They are a whole different ball game. If you have any left over supplies, try placing them in different positions on your belly. Do this with the ET nurse to find just the right spot for the stoma. I made sure that it was placed below any pant waistbands. You deserve a new, wonderful, healthy life. I waited a long time before my permanent ileostomy, and I wish now that I had done it sooner.
