For those of you that rememeber my thread back before christmas about being taken ill and requiring surgery to remove my large intestine. -I was given a colostomy bag to save me!

I've just had an operation to begin a reversal process where they create a new large intestine (very small one) from part of my small intestine, so I will no longer need a bag ever again, and all has gone well. I'll be going back in 8 weeks to get the final part of the operation done.

the pictures are not for the faint hearted by the way!..

so chuffed that i'm on the mend :)
 
Was reading that earlier.. wow :eek:

Just wish you a speedy recovery now.. can't be easy!!
 
Oh good luck man, very happy for you

A man who I serve at the rugby club is in the same situation.

Hope the bag will stay off, I can only imagine how personal that could be.
 
I remember reading about this. I'm glad things are looking up for you again buddy.

All the best and here's to a speedy recovery!
 
I'm really please for you, all the best. I didnt know there was anything they could do for this, great news its going well and your on the way to getting it sorted.

Oh, and your not wrong about the pictures, will be good for a party trick down the pub though.... look at me masive scare, bet you cant wait for the day.

Good luck, and great news its going well. Keep strong!

You dont live in sale do you, my mate from uni plays with a bloke with a bag. Says hes the funnyest bloke in the world.
 
Your site makes for an interesting read, it's incredible how well you seem to be dealing with it all, I think I would have some kind of total breakdown in your situation. Glad to hear the second op went well, you are so lucky to be able have the ileoanal anastomosis, and I hope it all goes well.

Just out of interest, do you know if your surgeon will be stiching it together in the final op, or using the staple gun up your arse technique??

Good luck with it all :)
 
Glad you're on the mend. :) That looks like such an unpleasant thing to have to go through - I wish you all the best for future ops, and personally I think you're pretty brave about it all. :)
 
Good news! It's not a nice operation by any means, but it looks like you're doing well, good luck for the last op! On the plus side you'll never have a beer chin again that's for sure :p
 
I'd also like to thank the members who helped me out with information and answering my questions, you've been amazing
