Reply to "Temporary Stoma/Ostomy"

JHendrixMember

I am happily back with the j pouch. I had the diverting ostomy to try to give a fistula a chance to heal. It didn't but I have chosen to live with it. If it becomes unmanageable I would likely go to an end ileostomy.

It's so hard to know if it's worth the risk to try isn't it? But I felt I had to at least give it a shot. What is your doctor's explanation for how a temporary ostomy might address your issue?

Sending you my best wishes...
