Ileostomy m
Who has had an ileostomy?
Mine is looming.
I am still unsure.
At the moment my major symptoms are exhaustion and low weight, and depression.
I've just looked into the reality of the operation and it's aftermath, and I don't know if I am going to be worse off if I have the surgery.
I am not using any medication.
I can eat some foods but am mostly on a Modulen only diet currently.
The surgeon is hoping for a successful laparoscopic operation, but as we know this could change.
I am starting to feel like the decision is out of time and out of my hands, but I'm not sure I can go through it.
I don't feel like I have enough indepence or support available at home.
I am in UK and with NHS.
I doubt asking this is going to help me, but I really don't know what to do.
