Not to sure what to do..........

Hi guys n girls

I'm a little confused about what to do now, it appears everything is my choice now :S

It's been 5 months since my ileostomy and iv just been for my appointment to talk about reversal.

My consultant has said that my tests came back inconclusive with regards to whether i had Ulcerative Colitis or crohn's disease.

Although my body is healing well he said that if i have the reversal i am running the risk that it maybe crohn's disease and may i suffer very badly after the surgery (which is going to be major :/ and will involve another small op afterwards) and could result in having to have yet another operation to re-due my stoma.

The risks appear to be rather heightened due to the fact that it maybe crohn's. I am really shock at this as every other doctor seems to think it was defiantly Ulcerative Colitis

I'm not really to sure of how the J - pouch will affect me and whether it is something i really need although being only 23 i feels a long time to live with the bag and i would hate to spend the rest of my life thinking i should have had the op, for better or worse.

I have got an appointment to see my stoma nurse who is lovely and im sure will help me learn all the facts in more detail although for now it would be nice to hear from real people rather then booklets about any situations that could perhaps teach me a little more about the emotional side rather then just the op side

Thanks for any advice and for any comments

It will be gratefully and happily received
