A lot of you know my story.... 22 year old who was diagnosed with UC at 17/18 and finally had surgery almost 2 years ago. Then had my final surgery, and got my J pouch, January of last year. I've...
Very happy for you!!! I went through it last year and am living an incredibly active life, something that I thought I'd never be doing again after I was slammed with UC and had basically emergency...
I'm a 22 year old with a J pouch and honestly, after you get home from the hospital stay, there isn't MUCH care to be done besides just basically waiting on him :smilewinkgrin: Of course he will be...
I've been on prednisone A LOT while going through flares before my J pouch :) Every time I was weening off of it I would start to notice quite a bit of hair loss, mostly in the shower, it wasn't so...
First off... Sorry to hear about your situation, all of this will only make you a veryyyy strong person, I know from experience! I was diagnosed with colitis at 18 years old, I'm not 22 and have been...

Hey everybody! If you are on the Ostomy board you have probably seen me post, and I was directed from the ostomy board to post this over on this board to show some people you really can do ANYTHING...
Good luck to you! Last year to this date I got my take down :) Was recovering right now a year ago!...

Good luck to brandon.... It's a tough road to recover from such a crazy and complicated surgery! I had some downs and have now been wayyy up!...
Jellybean, I was in your same boat, I am 21 years old and just couldn't do the ostomy thing my whole life. My surgeon is a very well known surgeon that has many, many surgeries under his belt, so I...
Jellybean sorry for the late response, didn't get the notice that you responded.... For ME, this was the best decision of my life. I am young though, I'm 21, and was very healthy other then my UC......
A few hours... I was at the track from 11 AM until 3:30 PM. Didn't have to go once :yeah:...
I'm so sorry for your problems you are having! I would say this is reversable, especially if it is just starting to happen now! Maybe call your surgeon/doctor and see what he/she says to what you can...
Yeah it is a cool effect how the helmet looks to stay stationary in the video, thank you! But yes, when I had my ostomy I was living a normal life, just kept off my bike which was killing me, just...

Yeah I have 2 big scars on my abdomen from my surgeries which, eh I'm fine with considering that the surgeries saved my life. I'm just saying I think I'm over worrying myself for what is most likely...
Anybody else have any input??...
Bev, Thank you for your response.... I do know how rare it would be for a 21 year old male, haha, but I'm just worrying myself to death, and I keep touching it which I'm sure doesn't help. Idk if I'm...
Nobody???...

I told all of my close friends when I had an ostomy bag and it was very comforting that we all had a sense of humor about it and it really never came up unless I brought it up and joked about it. Any...
Hey everyone I finished my dose of penecillin last week and all is fine! Root canal went fine, really wasn't as bad as I expected. Another UC Wife, yes, I believe that it is routine to take...

If you are pretty early post op, It is most likely just bleeding from between your skin and stoma where they stitched your stoma in.... Mine bled quite a bit from that area, and if you had just...
Yeah that is also a common way of doing it! good luck!!!...
Shanbee, Well it will be the small surgery if he already made the pouch during the first surgery. Mine was 6 hours because my surgeon actually had to create my pouch as well as connect it....
Caitlin, I'm a 21 year old who went through the horrible pain and suffering also... I was diagnosed at about 17 years old, I was absolutely furious at my body. I have played soccer since I was 8...
