hi well i had mine done 3.2.12 and it has calmed down loads now drinking booze makes it more active up to 16 times that day to the loo and new bowel does not like chilli that goes thro fast too. dont expect too much in the few days after operation as it took me four days to even get wind thro once it starts you will rush to loo and have trouble holding it. i wore lady panty liners and put them in back of pants just to save from embrassment. alot of pain at first but its worth it just hold on in there it will past dont take morphine it blocks u up and stops colon working which we dont need right now. i feel almost normal now and can get out the house earlier in morning only go three times wen i wake up as opposed to about 6. i went to clinic and they were pleased with it it takes two yrs to recover properly and if u have loperamide take tht if u get too loose or if fancy a night out but just take one. any more questions just ask me. wish u all the luck in world i only wish someone had told me more about it wen i asked on here. i still get wind alot but hey to be bagless is great . jo

I was told to not drink after my colon operation. I had a reversal in august of this year (2014)Pretty regular now, as doctor said I have a good bit of my colon left. There are a few times I don't think I'm going to make it to the bathroom. I developed Neuropathy after my chemo treatments,And have been on SS Disability, but have a review coming up in December 2014. I am hoping to be able to stay on SS disability. I was working outside at my last job, and don't think it would be good to my feet working outside in the winter. I was worried about when they take you off Disability, and you go on regular social security, but I called the SSA, and they said at age 66, I still would get the same amount. Getting nervous though, I wash the review would hurry up and get here, and decided on, as I am tired of worrying. Crystal tips, best I can tell from your picture, you are cute, and should be able to find somebody nice this time. Your last boyfriend was a jerk.
