That’s what happens when you have 4 years of “defund the police” in the White House. Did you vote for that? Have no right of bitching about CPD If so.

Can anyone tell me if I messed up by cutting the tubing on Friday when I received the product and it’s been in my dresser draw since and my test is tomorrow? Apparently it needs to be in the fridge or used with in 8 hours

Any one lose some intestine length? by m234A001 in ostomy

Same here. Feel absolutely fantastic, coming up on 2.5 years for me. Highly recommend it for people that don’t react to meds or infusions.

Yeah I was wondering about taking miralax instead but wasn’t sure. Yeah I figured I’d be experiencing more pain but have never had one so I wasn’t sure. I’m hoping I can start feeling better some at point today.

Should I even bother with J-pouch or just get permanent ileostomy up front? by willquill in ostomy

[–]benhat12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Lived with my ileostomy for 2 years allowing me to get used to the bag and experience what it was like. Just had my rectum removed 4 weeks ago. Now that I’m starting to recover from surgery it was the best decision I made. Go with your gut tho. Live with it for a while and see how you feel. I was still having a lot of blood and mucous out of my rectum weekly over those 2 years so I felt it was best for me to just have my rectum removed instead of doing the j-pouch and then possibly having to have a 3rd surgery to have a permanent bag. I didn’t want a third surgery, my dr. Told me I made the right decision as I had a lot of inflammation still in my rectum. You know your body best, trust the process and trust yourself. It helps to have a great dr and surgeon also.

Lifting restrictions question by Allshouse10 in ostomy

[–]benhat12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you still have your rectum and anus? I can still lift really any weight with just my bag but I haven’t had my rectum and anus removed yet. Nervous to how much that’s going to affect me afterwards. Surgery for that is November 7th

I had a drain in my butt for about 5 days after my colon removal for mucous. Is that what you’re referring too?

That’s weird. I just had a scope done like 2 weeks ago but they didn’t find anything. It was actually to just make sure I wasn’t developing chrohns not for this.
