14 months after colostomy reversal.... HELP!!!!

Hi Lody,

What was the reason you had a colostomy in the first place?

Do you have rectal or pelvic floor disorders that are obstructing the poop from coming out?

Or does your colon have a trasit problem after not being used for so long?

What has your surgeon told you to take?

Write back with the answers and maybe we can help. Thanks, Rosemary

arrrggghh.....my biggest fear. I am three weeks post op ileo reversal, but laxatives are working for me right now and I do not have to take then all the time. when did your contipation start and Rosemary's questions are good so we can better understand. Thinking of you.

Thank you all so much for you advice
Rosemary, I got the colostomy bag because i had a cyst in the bottom of the colon top of the rectal area, the cyst got infected after a biopsy. when it was removed i developed a recto-vaginal fistula I had couple surgeries to repair it. I also have parastomal hernia and it has been repaired 3 times (no mesh)..i
I am 29 years old 3 kids 2 C- sections while i had the bag...
my doctor wants to do an MRI of the pelvis in 4 months
I though about maybe asking him about pelvic floor disorder but I don't know much about the symptoms
and my husband thinks it may be a transit problem.... I am just afraid of anymore surgeries, 17 in 5 years is all i can handle right now....lol...
Thank you all for your help
Lody

Thanks Rosemary
