Hi again, For the record the Marathon Liquid Skin was ineffective. As I had no reply from Seashell I went ahead and used it anyway. It sealed the area but as my stoma aperture is below the fold of...
Hi Karen Thanks for the tip about the Marathon Liquid Skin. I received it today from the US, and it says not to apply to bleeding or open wound. Does that apply to the excoriated skin under the...
Hi Everyone Well I have to say that the small improvement after Day 1 with Manuka honey was not sustained. I now suspect that the barrier ring I used that day must have had a better seal than normal...
Hi, I have a peristomal skin wound which does not seem to be healing. As my stoma aperture starts below the skin at about south west I am expecting to always have a problem. However I started...
Hi Amy I had UC for 23 years and had my emergency surgery in 2006, resulting in a JPouch which I had disconnected in June 16. I had a JPouch for 10 years, most of which was pretty manageable. When I...

No worries mate, this is my second ileo, the first was 10 years ago before JPouch connection. If that is an option for you it is well worth it. Mine was failing after about 8 years but many have them...
Hi, I have to say that my surgeon almost called off my JPouch reversal because I had so many adhesions. my JPouch is adhered to many other vital bits, so he left it intact but disconnected, which I...
No worries GC, that's when I had my JPouch reversal surgery too, 25 June! Glad to hear you found a good surgeon, hope all is well! If you have an ostomy, don't underestimate your Stoma nurse. If you...
Hi GC Maybe a little late but I had my surgery in Sydney, and I live in Wollongong. My surgeon was Dr Shing Wong, and he has done all of my surgeries (4). Would recommend him to anyone, however he...
Sting, Had my reversal in June 16 and JPouch was left intact due to massive adhesions, although I wanted it gone. I have continuous discharge 2-3 times a day, gradually up to once every hour or so....
