I’m wondering 💭 if there is an admin on this page that can direct this person to another page where they can get more answers?
My Father in law had full colostomy in his late 60’s with bag and lived w/ it 20 years til he passed , he seem to do ok w/ it . Irrigation was was took the longest and not eating certain foods ( like nuts , corn ) etc..
My Mom had scar tissue from diverticulitis ( which she had bouts of her whole adult life )in her early 80’s. .
She had portion of her intestines out and temp bag . Her stoma wasn’t right and bag kept falling off w/ contents in it in the Rehab facility.
She only had it on 2 months or less than she passed ( not from that , from multiple organ failure). It did depress her so much having it .
I can’t imagine what you went through just going in with pain and having emergency colostomy.
You need to reach out to a really good new Dr. who has great reviews and can lead you down the right path .
I suffer chronically with 7 diagnoses over 10 years w/ severe digestive disorders. I’ve seen 6 Gastros even Mayo Clinic Jacksonville for testing . No one can help me . I suffer , life isn’t the same last long 10 years. Sucks Joy out of you because constantly sick 🤢.
God Bless
