BurtB 88 #52 Posted September 28 @JPWH I have had a stoma since 2017 when my colon was removed. Mine is an illeostomy, sounds you have a colostomy. Please let me know if you have questions or want advice. You can contact me by PM if you want and I'll give you my number. If someone is getting on your nerves, you can always tell them you're going to crap in their gas tank and mean it. 😉 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BurtB 88 #56 Posted September 28 2 hours ago, JPWH said: @Burt B I also have an ileostomy. I'm supposed to have a reverse surgery in a couple of months. I ended up keeping mine. With total colon removal, complications and frequency with a J-pouch made keeping the stoma the best solution for me. I wear a brace when doing any heavy work due to a hernia. Highly recommend wearing a brace. Have to limit intake of fresh vegetables due to blockages. When I get a blockage, Mexican Cokes in the bottle really help. Something about the acid and the carbonation really helps. Most water I drink is unsweetened seltzer water. Drip drop electrolyte drink, 1 a day minimum, has been an absolute life saver. It is common for people with stomas to be in the hospital for electrolyte problems, sometimes several times a year. I haven't been once. You have to drink way more water with a stoma but you have to replace those electrolytes. Gatorade doesn't cut it. Anyhow, I'll stop with the unsolicited advice. But seriously, reach out if you need to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 6,033 #60 Posted November 13 Made it to pre-op and surgery got cancelled. Potassium level was too high. They kept me in the hospital overnight and got it down. I have to do more labs next week for a follow up. Surgery has been re-scheduled for the 27th. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
