Hi everyone,
I'm due to get a loop ileostomy any day now and I'm told that in a year or two I will probably need to have a bigger operation to remove my colon as there is a risk of diversion colitis. I'm not sure if my body could cope with a big operation at this point of my life and I'm wondering what the average length of time people can remain with a loop ileostomy before needing to have the colon removed.
Any comments would be very welcome.

Hi Jerz,
Thanks for replying to my message, I know you are right about the bodys ability to heal I've been through a lot over the last 30 years and amazingly I'm still here! Re the ileostomy I think I will just have to get it done and not worry too much about what the future years might bring.
Thanks again for all your comments.
Keep strong.
S.
