After having been bumped once, it looks like all is 'go' for my "Barbie Butt" surgery on Tuesday - finally having that troublesome rectum removed.

Fingers crossed that I don't get bumped again - I want it over with.

Many thanks to all who have given advice and such as I was making my decision to have this done.

Talk to you soon,

Beatrice

Good luck with your Barbie Butt surgery. I had mine on October 3 after debating it for 3 years. I am so glad I had it done, but still experiencing some pain. I heard the recovery is long which is why it took me so long to decide to have it. I go back to work next week. One thing I can say is that it is definitely not as bad as my original ostomy surgery which seemed to take forever to recover from. Again, good luck and let us know how you make out.
