We spent quite a bit of time on the phone with her. She was so helpful and knowledgeable.
She informed me I had a Loop Ostomy! No one, not even the doctor told me that!
She made some great recommendations and is sending me some samples that she felt we may want to check out.
I can’t believe I hadn’t been told about the availability of a WOCN before. Although to be honest they may have a I didn’t remember.

@pidge32 I'm so glad that helped you!
It's not uncommon to forget things right after surgery!
Usually loop ostomies are done when that is a plan for reconnection. It's a *much* easier surgery. They detached the stoma from the abdominal wall, sew the ends together and kinda pop it back in ( I'm not a surgeon, but I had two reconnections that's how it was described to me). Do you still have your colon (or a substantial amount of it)? Can you be reconnected?
