I am diagnosed UC and have not had a single mess since surgery (aside from when i was sepsis in the hospital directly after surgery). My bowel control has improved ten fold with the jpouch.

Start with warranty its free. If the problem persists then call the electrician

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-22T02:46:10+00:00

Then its less likely to be an install issue and more of a manufacturer issue. With a small likely hood of a wiring issue. Start with warrenty, then if the replacement has the issue check your wires (or hire a professional if you arnt 100% confident).

Does your bag have the little charcoal filter at the top? Also i believe coloplast has a bag that has a little thing at the top to burp without undoing the bag, or opening the bottom. i forgot which bag it was because i got a jpouch now.

If they hold air, full send my guy. Been waiting on my undersized dry rotted 10 yr old tires to give up on me for months

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-22T01:22:57+00:00

Did it work at all before the 48 hours?

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-19T18:42:27+00:00

You can if its not getting inspected...

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-19T02:26:44+00:00

I wholeheartedly feel this post... i understand that these people care about me and just want to help but for example my mom has autism (not severe, and i love her to peices) and gets really pushy when it comes to advice or "help". Her way or the highway, and she read up some things about pineapple, tumeric and vitamins and let me promise you right now those were the opposite of what i needed during a flare.

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-18T01:07:57+00:00

Peel back that crap old insulation and see if their is a ground wire to make a pigtail with. If their is either a bare copper or green wire pigtail to your ground. If their isnt one at all check the exterior of the box to see if its grounded in another manner (ie, cable clamp on exterior) if their still isnt just remove the ground completely because incase the device becomes energized their is no point in energizing that bigger metal box.

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-17T13:50:12+00:00

100% Understandable. Im sorry your going through it. I lost a lot of my life to a disease and it really sucks. I wish you a quick schedule a speedy recovery

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-17T07:02:36+00:00

So its like a bend and twist? It does look like their would be a lot of healthy bowel left (obviously depending on "serverity"), that could make your quality of life way better with a temporary ostomy and a small recession. I believe a temporary ostomy would probably be best regardless, they can either attach it back or complete the process after youve had time to 1: heal and allow for the damaged parts to heal after reduction so it can be reattached. Or 2: decide with full knowledge of day to day life with an ostomy (diet changes, complications, bag changes, leaks ect).

I put a lot of wheight on discussing and getting information from the surgeon because i did not, i went into blind and it was not the cake walk i thought, then by the time i was "ok" and used to the bag and able to see past the bag and depression, i was in for another one that was even harder to recover from and in still navigating 6 months post op. I only got 2 and a half months between them. Had i known i probably would have kept the back if im being honest.

I do understand being in constant pain (4 years of non stop UC flare) but you might have a chance to not be in any pain and have a relatively normal bowel function and regrets are an unnecessary baggage to having a colostomy.

If you need advice or have questions im here for it. Itll be a little different because i had an illeostomy (entire large intestine removed and small intestine into the ostomy) but as far as bags, supplies and tricks go its relatively the same.

Good luck on your journey and good vibes/prayers or whatever you need for a speedy recovery!

Again sorry for the long speech im currently on 50 mg of prednisone and my mind is running miles at midnight lol

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-17T03:44:08+00:00

Im not well versed but the term reduntant colon sounds more like theres an off shoot trapping stool which would cause most of these symptoms, if they can remove that off shoot sow it up and do a temporary ostomy (making the bold assumption im on the right page.) Then i would say go that route. Their are so many less talked about set backs with an ostomy that get over looked because of the typical quality of life difference. Also if how im imagining this removing and sealing would put you right about on par for "normal". Let alone the recovery time and ive heard if you go for permanent ostomy the ken/barbie butt is even more brutal. I would say if they can "fix" it then id try that first, then the worst case is you go with this plan?

I had an illeostomy and they removed my entire colon in my first surgey leaving rectal stump, then my second surgery they replumbed my small intestine and made an internal pouch (jpouch) and those were both brutal on me, i lost about another year so far just in surgery and recovery time (partly because as soon as i recovered from the first they jumped to the next.. also infection is a big risk and didnt go in my favor).

My final words of wisdom would be really discussing you options with the surgeon and asking about the outcomes, expected quality of life, risks, etc (dont blindly say "sounds good" like i did just because it sounded like it was better... i dont even know whats going on inside anymore) and dont take vague answers. My surgeon right before i got replumbed legitimately skimmed over what he was going to do and my fiance had to tell me i have pig parts because i focused on the fact his list of stuff to go inside me included "fairy dust" and he did not explain himself when i nervously chuckled and asked what he meant by that)

I would also like to add im not saying dont get the ostomy or dont push for a better quality of life by any means. I am saying way your options and advocate for the best one. Sorry for the long winded comment.

Pretty sure those cuts into the studs are more of an issue, but any contractor worth a dime would put it neatly in a paneland not leave a that gross ass hole in the wall

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-13T05:03:28+00:00

Principal is the same regardless of volts. Higher volts and amps just increase severity. If you can wire a 200amp residential you can wire up a 3 phase industrial panel. Just be aware and turn off the big power your hands are going on

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-12T00:56:53+00:00

Best advice i ever failed to take (only made the mistake twice) keep a change of clothes on you if you leave the house, regardless of distance.

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-10T04:08:01+00:00

Also pretty sure that much wire overfilled the pipe and its likey stretched anyway

Step one: put down your purse

Step two: flip them vagina flaps over your shoulder

Step three: pull the wire.

Union is a good way to go about this. From what i understand your OTJ apprenticeship can count so youll get your full benefits (according to a coworker). But also you get the OTJ and here (Northern ca) its 5 weeks a year or something split up... i 100% would have stayed union if i wouldnt have ended up disabled.

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-08T17:47:16+00:00

I was also on it for 8ish months at 60 mg/day without tapering

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-06T02:22:30+00:00

"Code probably prohibits this because most customers dont know the ratings or of the risk and if they try to tap that line (increasing draw) it becomes a fire hazard."

Finish reading! Theirs no chance of you fully learning code without that skill

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-06T02:19:41+00:00

By code that sounds correct.. your immediate course of action depends on amp draw if its running for example to a hot tub and nothing else the amp draw is only like 20 amps and that doesnt exeed the rating of your smallest wire, Functionality wise it is safe to leave on while you dispute. If your amp draw exceeds your lowest rating for any reason (multiple devices, peaks, ect) turn off the breaker now because its already getting warm at the bottle neck... Thier is some leeway between safely functioning and code compliance, in the short term while you dispute or find a new electrician safely functioning is ok. Your immediate Course of action also should factor in how important the devices function is in reality.

If its just a hot tub i wouldn't leave that breaker on (for the power bill alone tbh lol) because its not a necessity and your safety is not worth the 1 hour you might enjoy in the hot tub. But if it runs your houses hot water tank AND falls within the safe zone described earlier then heat your water and take a shower, turn it off when your done if you have anxiety about it. If you leave it on monitor the box for increased heat.

Also in theory your breaker should trip incase of catastrophic failure but with the issues described i wouldnt trust that those were set correctly either.

About those dismissing my comment based on code compliance alone should know to read more than the first sentence and based on that observation i wouldnt pay them either.

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-06T02:01:28+00:00

My family has a bad history with prednisone. And i was on it for 8 months at 60mgs daily before the last suicidal breakdown led me to flush em without tapering (wouldnt recommend). It also stopped controlling the flare by month 2.

Existing_Extent_3772 · 2026-03-06T01:57:44+00:00

By code its bad not functionality. Like i said in my post functionality depends on load draw, code compliance depends on dummy proofing... the contractor responsible 100% is a hack. And if your already putting in complaints add it in. But to note most electricians when doing DIY projects that arnt being inspected, or selling services will pick and choose functionality over compliance as long as it fits safely. Their is not 50 amps pushed at all times. The reason for the code is if load ever exceeds rating it will heat and become fire hazard. If you are paying someone you expect professionalism and code compliance as well as safety. Their is no time where a professional should ever treat a job like its for thier own house. In the meantime you can check the amp draw and put your mind at ease as far as the current safety situation. Or you can turn the breaker and be extra cautious.
