I had a colostomy 2 years ago this past January, had diverticulosis and had about 6 to 8 inches of the bowel removed. I had the reversal six months later and have never regretted it. I had to have the full incision the second time. Like you, I was so used to getting the cramps and bloating but in my case it was only every month or so, but the pain would double you over. The reversal went very well and NO PAIN any more!!! A year later had to have three hernia’s repaired and again, the same incision for the third time. I’m healed up now and feel really good and I can eat anything I like and no issues. If I had to have kept the colostomy, I would have been fine with that too. It saved my life!! All the best to you!!
That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
Was it hard to recover from the reversal? I'm scared. I've had my colostomy for 11 months..
@@cockeyedoptimista Hi: the recovery was very much like the first time, but at least you have an idea what to expect and thankfully, I only had to have the NG tube for one day/night and the dr took it out the next day. About the 3rd day you’re feeling much better and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. You went through this once, you can do it again. Just be gentle with yourself and know you made it before, you’re strong and resilient and you will get through it and it all will be behind you, (In more ways than one”) remember you have to have a little humour to make the going easier. You’ve got this! Please keep us posted!
I should mention also, many do NOT need the NG tube, in my case, I did. Dr told me that some people have to have it and it’s not common, I’m just the odd duck.
I've just had my stoma reversal done. And a parastomal hernia repair.
I still have to wear a seton drain next to my bum hole.
I'm glad you are feeling so much better, I have experienced similar things, with intestines, I hope things continue to go well for you.I wish you continued good health and healing.
How are you feeling now? Did you find out why
I’m very glad you are feeling so much better. I think I’d stay with the bag for now; better safer than sorry. Thanks for posting and have a great day!
💖💖💖💖
Paul, it’s great to see you looking so much healthier already. It’s amazing what the right treatment can achieve! xxxxxxxx
Thank you for noticing, welsh!
My husband had a colon rupture just 6 weeks ago and now has a stoma, looking at a reversal in a couple of months. I appreciate you sharing your journey
You look fabulous Paul and your color is much much better and hope you stay in good health for a long time
Thank you 🙏
You 2 support each other really well, or that's what I see anyway. Having had multiple bowel surgeries for fistulas (which left me with long term issues), I can totally understand a lot of what you say. It sounds like things may get better for you in terms of you may be able to do reconnection surgery, but whatever happens, I'm sure you will make it work. You're both very resourceful. All the best you guys x
We try, we are there for eachother
Glad you are feeling better. I had an emergency hemicolectomy when my bowel perforated 1.5 years ago. My ileostomy saved my life but also gave me my life back. I feel so much better since the surgery that I turned down reversal surgery - an ileostomy was not something I ever dreamed I'd need but now I have it and have seen the quality of life it's given me I don't want to part with it!
I’m so happy to hear that. It’s great when you gain control and take back your life.
Has the question of keeping the bag indefinitely been brought up as well? I am all for whatever decision is made. When I had kidney stones the pain was unreal and to the point where I was afraid to pee
You have no pain after eating!!! It’s great news, keep moving this way🥳😘
Right! We’re moving in the right direction 💪💪💪
I hope your doing okay. One year 1 month for me so glad to get rid of the bag. However even now many nights with the heating pad and GasX or laxatives. Never be the same except it. Cant eat too much
That’s amazing to hear. Congratulations
So did you get reversal? I'm confused.
Sorry for his pain. I feel it: oww. Hooray you're feeling better.
I'm so glad you are feeling so much better Paul!
Thank you🙏🙏
I understand the pain after eating. It is awful. My doctors just say it is my double sigmoid colon. I was supposed to have surgery to fix it, but my other surgery took too long and they couldn’t do that on top of it. I am so glad you are feeling better.
How are you recovering now?
Im having a subtotal colectomy on monday because of severe uc and im really scared i hope it all goes well i really dont want it done but there is no other choice now as i have exhausted all medications
You got this! 💪💪💪
Paul, I know how you felt with eating, I’ve had so much pain that I had to stop eating everything except for a tiny bowl of plain white rice and I was on TPN for 1 1/2 years. Then I had surgery and was supposed to be able to eat again, but found out I have chronic pancreatitis now and have been surviving on just bread and chicken for over a year now. I’m in the hospital again (have been every month) and it’s so depressing. I’ve been trying all different ways that my Dr.’s have given me to help the pain but nothing has helped so far.
How’s your health now, I’m sorry your struggling 💖💖
Oh god, this breaks my heart.
My Best friend in Orlando has a double barrel ileostomy with colostomy, she is not going to get it reconnected, my mom has an ileostomy and total colectomy w/rectum removed and has a barbie butt.button.. yes that's a real term.. Paul, you definitely are strong and it's so good to see you feeling a bit better with less pain! Janiece your such an amazing wife and momma!!
Oh wow, I had no idea
I am so happy you are doing better.
💪🙏💪🙏
You are looking better Paul, keep on moving forward xxxxx
Thanks for the encouragement 💪💪💪
Glad your better. I feel like my life was given back to me. I decided to not reconnect as I feel better with the colostomy. I swim and due everything I want to do with my life. Only negative of bag is the accidents. But more positive for me.
That’s amazing to hear! We’re so happy for you 💪💪
I will preface my comment by saying that I am sure there are many people who have had successful reversal surgeries, I happen not to be one of them. I have had four surgeries .. I had my ileostomy reversed in 2018 , within months I developed another stricture ..long story short, on March 4th, 2020 I had surgery to remove stricture. I had to have another temporary ileostomy placed which I could have had reversed again. My quality of life has been so much better with ileostomy that I have chosen to stay with ileostomy!! Of course, as you have said would I prefer to not have a “bag”.. absolutely!! If I had a colon that was cooperative and didn’t keep me pretty much housebound and in such discomfort. I can live my life again and I’ll take the ostomy any day!!! I am not trying to confuse you Paul, but I do relate to your feelings about reversal vs ileostomy. You can certainly take your time in making your decision … I know there are people who cannot understand why I’d choose a bag over my colon… I just tell them if you had to live one week with my colon you’d understand!!! It’s definitely a personal decision and you will know what works best for you. I send you prayers and I’m sure you will know when it’s time what the right decision is 🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re still deciding but I’m definitely not in a rush to reverse anything.
The recovery does suck, I had a severe infection after my surgery, ended up in hospital for an additional 2 and a half weeks. But once all that is done being pain free is amazing. My daughters would love Janiece, they are crazy into anime.
I’m so sorry to hear that. What infection? Are your daughters also into anime?
What diet is recommended for Crohn's patients after reconnect?
Every Crohn’s patient is different. For Paul he needs to stay away from gluten and dairy and as well no spicy foods and if he eats veggies it must be over cooked drastically
Like the logo of you all sat down that is favourite
Right! It’s just so cute since sushi is apart of our family now
I feel the same about one punch don't feel bad lmao my husband is the same
Love that show!
I’m glad u r doing better Paul. I love 💕 watching anime and I’m learning Japanese. One piece is so long and im on season one of one piece. I love a lot of amine. I hope u continue to get better Paul. How r u doing Janice and baby sushi is getting so big she is growing so fast.
We’re doing good, still have some health issues but we stay positive
I really highly recommend 86 Eighty-Six! The story is so good and both sub and dub are amazing.
Oh! Never heard of it. I got to get into it.
My bowel perforated due to diverticulitis and I'll have a reversal in like 5 months so super scared about that. I'm 49 and I'm in love with Sailor Moon my daughter is named Serena. I also highly recommend Inuyasha, Ah MY Goddess and Pretear and Princess Tutu. And of course anything Stuidio Ghibli.
It changed my life so much I decided to keep my ostomy.
That’s awesome to hear!
You should check out The case study of Vanitas and Noragami! They're my favorite animes, I highly recommend them 🥰 (if you haven't seen them already!)
I’ve already watched it😂🤣. It’s so good, I love the music and era of the anime.
My daughter has some of the one piece books. Plus my academia books love final fantasy games has books also lols anime her thing. Going to a gaming convention in September whoppee! Paul you look so damn juicy man that surgery was the best thing to do. I’m so so pleased for you both hopefully things will be almost normal! 😊👍🏾🎉🎉🎉🇬🇧❤️
I love MHA! Great anime. Can’t wait for the next arc to come out. That’s awesome you do things she likes
1:05 Wait...the steering wheel is on the right? Either you're driving in a country other than the United States, or the video is mirrored somehow.
I do hope you'll get through your health problems soon.
Just how the camera is set up.
The early episodes of one piece are bad but I promise it gets better and so does me and my husband started watching it at the beginning of this year and now we are already on the 960th episode it picks up and them you can't stop watching it
I heard it get better after episode 100 or something but I don’t have the patience
Let’sTalkIBD is a CZcams channel you should look at. She has Chrons and has had an ostomy bag for 11 years I believe is what she said. Hope you are recovery well Paul.
Thanks for the tip
😮
You should check out Maggie on Let's Talk IBD. She's wonderful.
Thanks for the tip 👍
Wait
The opening was a little off topic but oh well 😮
Hello guys
Hey Louise
I love Death Note and Parasyte was pretty good.
We love death note but I couldn’t get into parasyte. But I’ll try it again
I'm glad you have a better quality of life now. GI issues are the worst
They seriously are, it can be difficult
You look better Paul
Thank you 🙏
Oh how I understand. Food became scary.
It did, I had anxiety all the time
What were the two meals paul had to eat all the time because of the crohns?
Salmon or plain mash potatoes
Aww but I love one piece that’s one of my most favorite ones and the other one that’s a good one is fairytale that’s a good enemy too
Fairy tale is amazing. I watched the whole series 💪💪
hey
Hello!!!
Good for you Paul, God bless you.
The apostle Paul had a thorn in the flesh that bothered him, and he ask the Lord 3 time to remove it. And the Lord told him that His Grace was efficient.
Do what works for you Paul, what ever give you the quality of life that you and your family deserve. Amen.
Thank you for the inspirational comment, I. Really needed that. 🙏
