I had surgery two years ago because of a bursted intestine and ended up with a colostomy bag decided not to have a reversal it sounded too risky. So now I will be with a colostomy bath for the rest of my life but I've adjusted.

@catbaloo76 I had the same thing happen to me over 2 years ago and decided not to have a reversal the Dr. Told me he would have to open me up again and said he may not be able to do it because of scar tissue and he said my age was against me and I lost so much weight that also was against me also he said he would have to connect my colon and would have to put my intestine out of my stomach for a month then would have to come back for surgery again ti re connect my intestine and just could not have another surgery ,I had to be opened up twice when my intestines bursted and almost died so just couldn't take a chance.

I also have a colostomy bag and still working on getting used to it. It seems there is always some sort of problem. I’m going on a year the 5 th of this month.
I also am going to be living with it the rest of my life as it’s too dangerous for me to try to do a reversal.
But now I am dealing with a decent size Ostomy hernia That is starting to cause me problems.
Just gets so depressing sometimes.
