Hi all, 

ive just spent the last month in hospital due to an abscess due to Chrons On IV meds but they are not. 

Doing the job. I am opting to have surgery to remove the abscess and a 2nd fistula. The surgeon will have to redo my entire ostomy and possiibly move sites. 

Has anyone else gone through this? What were your experiences? 

Thanks

Hi Sask girl,

I haven't been where you are but I hope you are doing better and have found some information from your doctor or even a ostomy support group. When are you having your op?
