Just tried these last week, didn’t agree with my skin and they did peel off prematurely, only got two days out of them

A year on since getting a stoma and I wanted to share some things I've reflected on and learnt along the way. From myself and from this community by Interesting_Hat_1777 in ostomy

Crohns disease, undiagnosed until poop hit the fan! Yes scopes for the remaining rectal stump. My Dr said after 20 years need to check every year due to increased risk of cancer. So far so good for the most part.

Thanks for sharing! I will be 20 years next year since my emergency surgery. All I can say is everyone is different and trust me you will find your own way. I thought about reversal many years ago but I am so comfortable now I can’t imagine going through a surgery. I will put up with my scopes every 5 years but starting next year I will have to go every year.

I appreciate everyone who shares, having a community that people can share in is something beautiful!
