Hysterectomy
They said that there is a significant chance of being left with a
colostomy
bag. I am absolutely terrified of this operation and the recovery process afterwards and really need others to talk to who understand.

A setback in control of pain.
Obviously seen all over the web about people wanting / getting
colostomy
. I will mention this to the doctor and gauge their reaction. I don't want it now, far from it. I just want to know if this pain carries on for ever there is something I could do. Any responses really welcomed! Thanks guys :)

Advice please
But that soon turned to adhesiolysis surgery because they found severe abdominal adhesions. 3 hours later they abandoned surgery because they couldn't do anymore other than a
colostomy
bag. They found endometriosis on my bowel..

Colostomy problems - parastomal hernia?
I have a permanent
colostomy
following debulking surgery in November 2012. Never knew I was going to have one so it was a bit of a shock. I must admit I have never accepted it and hate it with every bone in my body. I don't irrigate although this is something I would like to do.

What to choose
If things go wrong then I could end up with a
colostomy
bag. I have two young children at home and a teenager who I want to be able to run around with and have fun. I just don't know what to do for the best, what would you ladies do if in my situation? All advice gratefully recieved.

bag. As soon as I heal I will have anither operation to reverse the
colostomy
. I have not seen my oncologist since July so I have no idea about my stage 3 ovarian cancer. I should see him again in Dec.

My Endometriosis Nightmare and how I almost died from it!
He then had to remove more colon and give me a
colostomy
along with a large open wound from my belly button to my pelvic bone due to cauterizing the bleeding blood vessels.

Jaci
My daughter Jaci suffered from OC, eventually she had
colostomy
and we were advised she would be in ITU for 3 days, however we had phone call 12 hrs later to say she had been moved to acute stroke unit due to emergencies in ITU. She then got infection and passed away.

Going back to a bag.
They are operating, back to
colostomy
, whip out the ovary and hell why not, do a full hysterectomy. It's just now sinking in, the op is in about six weeks. I'm scared what I will end up with!

Pregabalin
I'm already a
colostomy
bag user so my confidence has been bashed by that and other things that I won't go into now as you will all be bored to death. I have had various input from CPNs and support workers since 2011 none of it very successful as the care in my area Avon & Wiltshire is not great.

Operation has failed!
I`m worried that I`ll end up needing nappies, or have to have a
colostomy
to cure the problem. Has anyone else been in this situation?, & did you find a solution?

Devastated! No babies for me... Are there any support groups
I had a
colostomy
bag for 7 months and had the reversal in April 2013. My endo pain has been constant throughout so I went for my first laparoscopy which then turned in to a laparotomy as my small bowel was torn during the procedure due to adhesions from the previous surgeries.
