Somtimes I regret making the decision to have my bowel re-sectioned again, at least then I could live life fuller than I can now.
As so many people have already stated things CAN go wrong unfortunately, but I had to make the best of what I had.If it meant me having a better quality of life than I do now then I would opt for another colostomy.I even asked my surgeon if he would consider me having another one, needless to say his reply was unless there is a clinical obstruction then no. I did actually suffer from peritonitis and its not a very pleasant experience to go through, I know I went through the tunnel to God, but fortunately my time was not up.
Please dont think i'm being negative, but people must hear what its like to end up having peritonitis or a colostomy.
I guess I was just very unfortunate
hope this helps alittle
