Hi Guys,
I had a total colectomy in May 2010 which left me with an ileostomy. I saw the specialist on Monday and it was the first time that I got told I will definitely have to have my rectal stump removed as I cant be reconnected due to uc and proctitis. It was a shock to the system I thought all surgery was over but sometime in the next few months or years I will have to have another major operation. I would love feedback off anyone who has had this surgery (recovery time, what the operation involves) im scared I thought the worst was over xxx
