Yeeaaaa!!  Airforce!!,

Glad to see you are back  and that every thing went well.

Does that mean that you still have a stoma?

Are you eventually  going to have a reversal??

So many questions.

God bless and good flying.

Hi Airforce 1.....Glad to see that you are back! I hope you will start to feel better soon.

I have my reversal surgery on the 5th. I'm half scared now that I know what is going on.

Welcome back airforce1, so glad everything went well for you. Now your a Lefty instead of a Righty...lol

As for the rash, do they still have you on morphine or pain meds? This could be from that, I broke out with a rash on morphine had to change to Demerol.

Be sure to chillout and rest, don't over do it and go slow, it's not a race to see who has had the fastest healing time because there is NO PRIZE!!!

Take care and do as you are told!

Atta gal, Airforce,

good attitude, and I agree with Budd. Switch to Demeral, fantastic stuff.

I told my Doc, that if ever I decided to become a dope head, Demeral would be my choice!!

Glad you are faring well.

Convex Skin Barrier Options

Hollister

A convex barrier may provide a more secure and predictable seal between your pouching system and your skin, which can help prevent stoma fluid leakage.

Welcome back AF, I hope you are recovering well. Was wondering if they moved your stoma over to allow healing of the original site before performing a complete reversal in a few months? They did that with me on my first go around and it worked well for 15 years. Take care.
