Hello and I'm home and getting excited...despite frequent times to bathroom and wound vac on my stoma site, I'm doing well, complete control of my bowel movements:)) still playing with diet and thank God for calmoseptine!!! Having gas pains but gas x seems to be helping and doc said this would all get better with time! This has been a LONG year for me and so thankful it has ended my battle with UC for good😏 thanks for all the help and comfort over this battle and my motto is "It is what it is..and will be what I make it" Merry Christmas🎅🎅

Yay, congrats everyone... my hubby is having his pouchogram on Monday... please pray for him that they do not see any leaks or anything!! If all looks well on the pouchogram then his surgeon will do the pouch-oscopy and then if all is well...takedown! :)

I'm really hoping that the pouchogram doesn't show any leaks... I would hope that if he did have any leaks that it would have been obvious by now since he's been off antibiotics and everything for over a month. But I guess you never know.

I'm glad you all are doing well... it comforts me some. We have gone through so much already I want everything else to be ok. :)
