#colostomy — Public Fediverse posts

I'm down to just a tiny little section of my former stoma site on my abdomen now that needs to close. It's otherwise all fully healed up.

It's kind of weird now to think how I regularly shat into a bag for about 15 months whilst I had my stoma.

I've got entirely used to going to the loo via the regular method again. I don't even think about it much now.

For anyone interested, I'm almost entirely recovered from my stoma reversal (reversal of Hartmann's procedure, aka proctosigmoidectomy reversal) on 2023-12-27 🏥

The last thing remaining is my former stoma site.

It started off as 7 cm wide by 4 cm tall by 3 cm deep.

There's now just a tiny area that has yet to heal over.

My recovery is continuing to go really well.

I've still got the dressing over the drain site and over the former stoma site (open wound that needs to close naturally), but I no longer need a dressing where the abdomen incision was made, as it's entirely knitted.

I'd honestly forgotten the joy of not having a stoma, as I can now fully pull up knickers, leggings, tights etc. without causing issues to a stoma bag 🥰

That feeling when your stoma is starting to prolapse, but you're not sure if it's finished pooping yet, so you're unsure whether to put on your ostomy belt yet today 😅

Put it on too late & you've got a dangly stoma that you've got to squeeze back inside.

Put it on too early & you'll possibly blow out the bag if poop gets stuck around the top of the ostomy bag.

Fun times all round 🙃

NGL: I love that the skorts I got can be pulled up high enough to cover my ostomy bag entirely without causing any issue or discomfort 🥰

I'm not at all ashamed of my stoma in the slightest, but I realise that most folks don't exactly feel comfortable seeing a my poop bag & a bit of my gut hanging out 😅

CW for image: tummy & you can see the tip of my tummy scar

So, I woke up this morning with a nearly full ostomy bag. It would have been too difficult to squeeze all the contents out, so I changed the bag.

My stoma (named "Lil Bitch") has just now half-filled the new bag with "soft serve", which is difficult to get out of a bag, even if you've added some baby oil.

*shakes fist at Lil Bitch*

Me: *changes my full ostomy bag*

My stoma (Lil Bitch): "That's a lovely fresh bag you've got there. It would be a shame if someone were to immediately soil it."

Me: "Fuck you, Lil Bitch!!!"

I couldn't find a definitive answer to whether you can "boof" (take rectally) a progesterone capsule into a stoma rather than via the regular rectal route.

For science, I have just gently inserted one an inch or two into my stoma, then put on my ostomy belt, so it doesn't work its way out overnight.

I'll let you know how it goes 😌

My poop is really slimy today, & not just cos I squirted some baby oil into the ostomy bag 🙃

On the plus side, it's harder for it to pancake when it's like this 🤷‍♀️

I'm not sure what's up with my digestive system today, but I've filled up my ostomy bag twice & had to pass mucus from my arsehole thrice.

Plus I feel a bit shit 😔

PSA for stoma-havers

If you're experiencing pancaking in your ostomy bag, try putting a little baby oil in the bag. It works wonders.
