[@kimbasciano_]

Emily Parris your stomach looks amazing!! I’m so happy for you that you’re back to doing things you love. I just found your channel & I instantly fell in love with you! Lol! My bf has been in a flare for over 2 years and nothing has been helping him, only prednisone and obviously he can’t stay on that. he’s on humira which is not helping him at all, he’s been on it almost a year. I feel so bad for him, he’s constantly in pain, always in the bathroom, can’t eat, always sick at work and I wish i could help him. I wonder if this surgery is something he could consider. a question for your q&a is, what is one thing that you have learned from having UC? Do you have any advice for someone suffering with constant flare ups as far as diet goes? I know you’ve mentioned no red meat, anything else?

[@JuicyPricklePeach]

Emily Parris What is your favorite color. I felt like being different. 😂 You got me all choked up with the vid of you seeing your stomach for the first time without the bag. It was amazing. Love you bunches! 💜

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

I will definitely be answering this! Thank you Kim

[@JuicyPricklePeach]

Emily Parris Thanks for the love. 😁 I am not sure of a medical related question you cover it pretty good. 💜

[@alyssapoole2523]

I just found your channel yesterday. I honestly fell in love. My question is do you feel better about yourself? Also are you ever gonna want to have kids?

[@carolinescott1319]

I had a full colectomy when I was 6 years old, I’m 17 now and understand your struggle more than most. Literally almost the exact same story to a T. Ulcerative colitis, Ostomy bags, pouch, everything

[@blondieb576]

As a nurse of 20 years (now disabled with a chronic illness) what you are doing, educating people about people with an ostomy is so incredibly helpful. I am so glad I came across your channel. I wish you the best!

[@kateymateymusic1]

True story, KZbin recommended it to me and I was quite fascinated. You’re a brave girl and I admire you for what you have been through

[@angiesmilth5325]

kateymateymusic1 same

[@rachellepre2439]

you’re so brave and wonderful to be able to speak to everyone about your journey. i cried some while watching this because i can’t imagine all the emotional and physical pain you must have endured. i don’t have an Ostomy but knowing more about it makes me more aware and actually learning about it opens my eyes to what some people deal with everyday. I just hope everyone can learn to be comfortable with their skin and their body & be confident like you. because everyone is perfect in their own way.

[@shirleyrhodes3741]

My God! They need to crown you queen of the colon surgery! You are so calm and happy and so easy to understand. I salute you and your courage to share and enlighten us all! Thank you for making these videos!

[@LyricSkye]

I had my ileostomy reversal on May 11, 2020. It has stopped draining. Thank you for sharing. This has been hell but I’m thankful to God that I’m here and healthy. 💜

[@NuAfu]

Do you still have a colon? If not how often do you go?

[@LyricSkye]

@@NuAfu I have a partial colon now. I typically go everyday or twice a day.

[@ohjalapeno]

My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer and was given a temporary ileostomy. I think he was shown one time had to change his bag and sent home. This has been the most horrific thing we have ever been through because he had no idea what he was doing. Constant leaks, going through several bags because the seal wouldn’t stick sitting down while putting it on and I could go on and on but your last video showed me so many things that we can change. I just shared it with him while he is at work. Thank you so much for sharing your story I know how tough it must’ve been Because I have Crohn’s disease and I know how it can be embarrassing to talk about.

[@adampannu97]

Not sure if you’ll see this but i’m so happy for you. I’m praying for my ostomy reversal

[@mizzenmonkey]

I am watching and this made me tear up because I am waiting for my reversal and can COMPLETELY relate to wanting my tummy back!!

[@heatherhoehlformerlyblackb7022]

I had my ileostomy for 6 months while fighting rectal cancer. Had takedown April 2018 and can totally relate to your experience. I was so happy it was gone! And then I pooped myself in front of my friends, lol. But my bathroom issues became manageable over time and are still improving now, well over a year later! I would never go back by choice. My scars look just like yours. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@bethannslusser4254]

You are my hero Emily! My grandfather had a colostomy way back in the seventies. There was no help out there and it was so difficult for him. You should be very proud of yourself! Your honesty and humor have taken the stigma out of a very tough life event to have gone through. I am so happy that things are going well for you! Take care!

[@jenniferdouglas5511]

Your so brave. Glad your talking about this for those who have had similar experiences. I knew someone who had a bag and then a j pouch. After getting impailed on a tree from snowmobile accident. He had such a hard time on that bag. Once it spilled at his daughters dance recital all over himself. Rough living. So glad your doing better and life is better ♡

[@meganotoole3079]

I had my colon removed when I was a baby and had a ostomy bag until I was about 3 years old. I had NEC which is a flesh eating bacteria in my colon. I was very close to dying. Luckily I got the ostomy reversed and I don’t remember it. I have a little dip too! And scars from hip to hip. Just remember they are battle scars! I love your channel! I love that you are open about your colitis and spreading awareness!

[@briannaxosjv]

I was just discharged yesterday from an ostomy reversal. I had the same reaction about losing my pouch. I was so worried if I'd ever find someone who could find me attractive. I had sooo many other worries. Going through your videos showed that you had a lot of same concerns. I hope a lot of younger women when faced withlife altering decisions can see your videos. They are direct, REAL, and really can help. Im so happy for you and keeping my fingers crossed that our reversals stick.

[@KarLi11]

I’m one of the people that saw this recommendation video, and I’ve sat through a few of your videos in the last few days. I had no idea what is was you were going through and you’ve taught me a lot! Congratulations on coming this far. You seem like a super sweet girl. Good luck to you in the future!

[@michelelovesbooks]

I'm not sure why but KZbin recommended your video on how to change your ostomy bag. A friend of mine that recently went through cancer has to wear one so I clicked on it to learn more and have now watched almost every single one of your videos. Your transparency and strength are so inspiring and admirable. I have subscribed and look forward to learning more through your videos. You're a breath of fresh air. God bless!

[@BrittHanlon]

Girl, look at your growth! You SO deserve it. Strongest chica on KZbin!

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

Thank you Britt! & congratulations on little baby Hanlon!!! I'm seriously so excited for you!

[@ashleybellerose7104]

You dont need muscle to look good. You look great! Weight is just a number. Who cares how much you weight or how much muscle you have. Girl if you love yourself thats all that matters. But if gaining muscle is what you want by all means go for it :D you look amazing now and you will then! Im so happy for you. And I love your channel. :)

[@Kelseyjohnson21]

Omg I literally just started following you two days ago and I feel so invested in your story. You literally grew overnight cause yesterday I had more subs than you and now you're kicking ass at over 7k! Soooo glad for you!

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

Seriously! It's like every time I look the number keeps getting higher and higher! I'm excited for it but also glad that a video shedding light on something so personal and important is reach and impacting so many people

[@gosubtobunnysarelife190tar5]

10k now!! 💗💗💗💗💗💜 luv u so much Emily

[@bricoley]

Kelsey Escoriaza agreed!

[@ARTandFUN101]

Same!!!

[@oohmomma69]

* crying :'( I'm so scared i think I will soon go through everything you've gone through. I have Pan divertículitis and it is very severe ...I have a lot of divertículas all over my colon...

[@PsychicInsignia]

You have helped so many people including me, and you're so inspiring because you have such a vibrant personality and grace. Many other personal videos don't explain but you break everything down. It gives so much hope!

[@morgandranbauer5575]

Wow, girl I admire you! Your positivity and way of seeing the silver lining in a [what some people would categorize as] a bad situation or creating a silver lining is incredible. You are such a cutie and seem like such a sweetheart and the world needs more people like you!!! Keep being strong girl and keeping your chin up! I'm so invested in your story even though I personally am not living with any health problems I just saw your video in the "recommended" section and I'm hooked!!! Stay beautiful girl your a serious role model! :) Morgan ❤️

[@FlyingWonderGirl]

I’m so happy for you! I have GI issues that at some point are going to get worse and it’s good to know what things could be like.

[@nancyatorres209]

Im glad ur a strong person and willing to put urself out there for others. I have a rare autoimmune disease and had emergency surgery at 19. Im 26 now and still have complications and hearing u makes me feel better. Thank you for making my day. Take care lots!

[@blessedbean5467]

I’m so happy that god had me find your channel. I am going through a lot right now, and after watching all of your videos you are my biggest inspiration! I have had cdiff 3 times in the past 8 months. I had a stool fecal transplant last week (fingers crossed 🤞🏻 it works for me). I’m 26 and have been very very sick and lost my dream job. With the cdiff a few weeks ago I woke up (tmi sorry) pouring blood out of my bottom. When I was 22 I got a severe blood infection (sepsis) and almost lost my life. I had a picc line for 10 weeks. Thank you for making these videos.

[@servantsofthemessiah720]

Shes so transparent. Such a strong personality.

[@laurencarney2500]

You are seriously amazing. You are so positive & optimistic. It truly amazes me. I really love how educated you are about the whole situation. You go girl!!!

[@Tiffanydw4]

Would love a pros and cons j pouch video. Also I would love to see a more about exactly how ostomy, and j-pouch works. About the disposable bags how did they differ. Obviously you still empty them but did you have to clean it out in between changes or just empty them. My thirteen year old has major medical issues has a g-tube etc... Your so amazing and I am so sorry your ex couldn't see that. Glad you have such an AMAZING support network that is so important. Congratulations on the j-pouch. Just subscribed and love all your information

[@tiffanygamble8818]

I started watching your videos about last week and I looked through your colonrollin account and when I saw that video of you back in the hospital because of your spasms and pain I seriously got sooo sad and felt so bad. I literally prayed for you after seeing that & I am sooo glad this popped up and you’re doing so well. 💗💗 hope it continues going so well!

[@tiffanygamble8818]

Oops I meant rollincolon****

[@happinessisach0ice]

So I started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago as a nurse. Personally videos like this help me understand how I can help people in your situation in the future. The number one thing I'd like to know is, what do you think is most important from your experiences to be a message to healthcare workers. Whether it's what type of care helped you the most, what you want from a good team, or just something that positively affected you. You rock, best of luck with your j tube !!!!!

[@emilydubois12]

You’re such an amazing person! Your attitude and positivity is incredible. You seem to be a very strong person! Love watching your videos! ❤️

[@cozycolors9917]

The part where she sees her stomach 😩😭😭 so happy for you

[@lornaneedham5966]

Your video is so clear and helpful and you are so brave and amazing

[@greengleek99]

Just wanted to say ive been watching your videos all day today as KZbin suggested it but i love learning, i wanted to say you are such as strong woman and i dont think i would ever be able to do what you have gone through. You are such a brave and inspiring person 😊 so thank you for teaching me something new and showing me that even through the hard times you can over come the things that bring you down but you also grow to love the person you are even with the surgeries and going through what you went through...❤❤

[@marlaparslow3316]

Love your update :) I had my first surgery a day after yours. I was 9 weeks out yesterday. I may be able to have a reversal but it won't be for a long time. My story started with anal cancer in 2015 but chemo and radiation killed the tumor. I was not getting better after treatment had lots of horrible pain. In July of 2016 I was diagnosed with c diff that I probably got while my white counts were low during one of my hospital stays. To make a very long story short I had c diff 9 times from July of 2016 through June 2017. My GI drs were not doing anything to help me. I was in and out of the hospital 6 times during this period and ended up with ulcerative colitis. Thank goodness that I finally got a family dr that got stuff rolling and did scans. I was pretty much on deaths door before my surgery. I had lost 80 pounds and was so sick. The surgery has been a huge blessing. I still have a ways to go to heal and get healthy but I'm so much better. I'm so glad you were able to get your bag removed. Having the bag really has not caused me too much stress and if I have to have it for ever I'm OK with it. If I was in my 20s I know it would have been rough but I'm 50 so I think that's why its not so bad for me. I do have horrible anxiety from all the medical stuff I have been through in the last 2 1/2 years and recently had to go on medication for it. I'm hoping for a reversal but because of what radiation damaging my muscles down there and the chance of the colitis coming back my surgeon says I might have a better quality of life keeping my ileostomy than having a reversal and ending up back with the bag anyway. I so admire your courage and strength from all you have been through and to share it with people is amazing. I started watching your videos when I got out of the hospital from this surgery and they helped me so so much. Your such a beautiful person and have a beautiful spirit. I'm just so happy to know your doing well. Thank you for sharing this update as I was wondering how you were doing. Huggs

[@Broziina1]

I just started watching this video, so I can't really say much about your channel, except thank you for making a video about something as personal as this. I've just found out I'll probably lose my colon and ive never felt as depressed and sad as I do today.. so UC sucks.

[@sarawilkinson6766]

My husband has ulcerative colitis, and he fears the idea of surgery. If this likely in his future, I want to thank you because I feel like this video would help him xx

[@arnieg1703]

Oh my gosh. I never knew what an osteo was before watching your videos. When you started crying I started crying. You are one strong woman and remain so positive. You’re an inspiration to me.

[@kimn169]

You popped up on my suggested videos and I clicked on the ostomy video because I’m a nurse and I was just interested because you’re so cute and young! Thank you for being so open about struggles like this. You’re beautiful and brave and strong and anti anxiety drugs are the bomb :)

[@BorderlineRatLady]

You are amazing. You're such an inspiration. My husband is about to have the Ostomy surgery on friday. Thanks for sharing this. It gives hope xxx

[@lorij.4044]

Bless you for educating us! My friend is getting a reversal and your video was so informational. Sharing your story is the best way to explain this process in laymen terms. ❤️🙏🏼

[@autumnhollinger8983]

I am a brand new subscriber. I think you are an amazing person. And one of the strongest people I have ever seen. I am so sorry that this has happened to you, but I hope some good has come from this because you deserve only the best! Keep doing what makes you happy!

[@nicolepapole]

I'm one of the random viewers. It must have been in my suggested videos. I think it is great that you're doing this and educating people in such a positive manner. Can't wait to see where you take this!

[@honeybison]

Your video was suggested and I watched it and fell in love with you. You’re so sweet and funny and inspiring. I subbed earlier today and I’m happy to see a newer video! Stay positive and thank you for taking time to make videos for us! 💖💖💖💖

[@tboogieclips4417]

I am a KZbin binge watcher lol and your changing the bag video was suggested to me. Since then I have been checking out this series of videos. You are so brave and inspiring. This is awesome what you have done. Keep it up!!!

[@briannatriche9205]

Thank you for being so influential during my journey of my surgeries! You don’t know how much your videos mean to me when I felt ugly and with my ileostomy! I had UC for nearly 10 years and eventually all the meds stopped working as well as oral steroids. I have my takedown surgery in March! Thank you!

[@alih4895]

i can not believe how open and mature you are! this is so informative and its amazing to hear how positive you are!

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

Ever since I was little I have always loved talking to people and have been really open about literally every aspect of my life! I'm not totally sure why or how it happened but the saying "she never met a stranger" applies to me 100%

[@jessskwara7255]

I discovered you yesterday and I’ve been watching your vids like crazy! I’m so invested in your story and I love seeing you kick ass! I’m so glad to see you doing well

[@alexistrochesset2854]

i found you today & watched all your videos, i absolutely love you! you’re so strong and such a bright soul! i’m so glad you posted this today as i was looking forward to it! i’ve recently started having GI problems and this was just so good to watch and learn so much more!

[@cazzawee]

I had no idea what an ostomy was before I found your video in my recommended box, so obviously I didn't know you could go back to being "normal" after having an ostomy either. I really feel like I've learned a lot these past few days lol! I'm so happy for you, I cried with you when you cried seeing your new scar. your personality shines through the screen, definitely subbed :)

[@amandaboyce4066]

I just came across your video on changing your ostomy bag today and I found it really interesting and you're strength is really inspiring and I've become really interested in your story and I couldn't help myself but to watch your other videos and I can't wait to watch more :)

[@SpiderMan-fi6cx]

I love you, you're awesome! 😘💙 you're really a beautiful, and strong person. when you cried, it make me so happy but yet sad, because I take my body for granted. you really changed the way I think, I am so happy for you! I wish you the best of luck. 💙

[@laurasiencki3277]

Spider Man this comment made me really happy! we all take little things like our stomachs for granted.. this comment made me realize how selfish I really am, I'm not thankful enough for my health, being able to use the bathroom like "normal". I don't know why this comment caught my eye but I really am going to change my attitude and Start being more thankful for everything!

[@kristinkay3573]

It's 3am and I'm crying happy tears from you crying. I couldn't sleep and honestly idk how I got here... but much love girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you're so strong!!

[@deannagailfutrell-land2539]

Thank you for your bravery and compassion to help others...I have Crohn's disease and finally had to go on Retirement disability because I just couldn't function properly in my job role...or any....the last two times I've been hospitalized the doctors had discussed the possibility of me having to get a colostomy....but haven't as of yet...I do not feel scared anymore because of you explaining the process through your videos...God bless and be with you in all your endeavors!

[@DianaMartinez-fd3nu]

You're so strong! I've watched your story and you're such an inspiration. I've been watching you for two days and you've changed my perspective on such a sensitive topic. You're incredibly strong and keep your head up! I wish you the best of luck in everything you do! Thank you for sharing your story. You are so brave!

[@amandaslaw81]

Wow you're so awesome! I don't know if I could make a video like this and your ostomy bag video cuz I would be feeling sorry for myself. How brave to show others what u sent through and offer help to those who may need it. The video when u saw your stomach made me cry. I could feel your excitement. Youre so young and beautiful and I'm so happy you love your new tummy!! Congrats girl! You'll be rocking those summer clothes next year!

[@BobbiAnneWilson]

I am so happy for you! I don’t have an illness that I can relate to you, but you’re just so inspiring. I love how educational this video is and your attitude is amazing. I can’t even tell you how inspiring you are and how happy I am for you!

[@pinupgirl9160]

Thank you for posting your videos they have been so helpful for me since my mom has had her entire large intestine and part of the small intestine removed completely, she now has an ileostomy which looks a little bit different than yours, hers is sort of sunken in rather than sticking out which makes it hard to keep the bag from leaking. But I am her IHSS caregiver and so I will be the one to help her with these things until she gets comfortable with them so thank you for your videos because it helps me understand a little bit more about what don't know life is like with an ostomy bag. Much love! Xo xo

[@lohanscokehabit]

I just saw your other videos yesterday and I'm so glad to see that you're living a normal life again. You're such a strong person. You kept such a good attitude about your situations. You will do amazing things, hun.

[@jmfletcher]

I found your channel yesterday and have binge watched every one of your videos. I love how honest you are! I'm living with Crohn's so this could all be a very real truth for me in the future. It's just nice to know you're not alone.

[@hopechinn3316]

You are really brave for sharing your story. I was watching some of your videos and I was impressed to see how you handle it. I honestly didn’t know what this was until I saw the chit chat video. And now that I see that you don’t have to look at a bag and see your stomach makes me happy. You honestly look so beautiful with those scars so don’t let any of those hateful people tear you down. Thank you for open my eyes to know that there are more people in the world that are in more pain. It’s a good feeling knowing that there are people that are happy like you. Honestly watching you see you stomach made me cry because it was the most joyful thing I seen.

[@copingwithbehcets6947]

I have chronic illnesses, and your story makes me happy because you're so honest, and so positive.

[@jasminsamuels2494]

[@sagamakeup3337]

I know this is an old video, but I just want to tell you thank you so much for making these and sharing your life with us. I have a stoma myself and I hope to get a J-pouch surgery soon. I hope you are doing great now

[@pisceanearcher]

Wait just yesterday I checked and you had 6.9k subscribers and now you're at 10k! WOW! Congrats girl. I found your channel yesterday but man am I invested in your journey.

[@harleymckinney9973]

You’re truly beautiful, strong and amazing!! I came across your video watching another you tubers page curious to know what this was. And honestly you have educated me so much on something I had no idea existed. You are inspiring with anybody who has had that too. You are so gorgeous and Id be blessed to know someone like you! Thank you for opening up to us and sharing your story!

[@harleymckinney9973]

I am now subscribed to your channel! Looking forward to watching your updates!

[@darkwiz1000]

Wow! I'm so happy for you! you've been through so much yet here you are strong, beautiful and positive. Nothing can hold you back now! Thank you so much for taking the courage to post these videos. I don't have an ostomy, however, through these videos I realized that there is more to life than just worrying about what we look like. Again congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

[@anabethperales6350]

I have 2 friends who have UC. Your videos really helped me understand what they're going through much better!! I had never seen an ostomy bag before or knew there was a j pouch alternative for them. :,) keep on informing people honey!! You're helping! ❤

[@elishamarie81]

I get those spasms when I'm having anxiety or stress, too, and they're so painful. I don't have any diagnosed illness, but with the pain of those I cannot even imagine having ulcerative colitis or anything like it. Glad you have the anxiety under control!

[@shekeyra100]

You made me cry you are one beautiful brave strong girl i hope you keep vloging watching from before and watching your journey can see how much 'i don't want say change but obv everything you have gone through has to have changed you in someways but what i saw is a young girl who faced this fight head on and has been brave enough to share her battle the good days and bad days of her life and hopefully help others now i see a young beautiful woman who has her whole life ahead that will be filled with many more happy memories to have .xhi from the uk x

[@emilybahu8375]

I just subscribed last night and watched all your videos about your ulcerative colitis. You are so brave and strong for going through all that pain. If anyone feels like they need someone to talk to, I am more than happy to listen. I may not know how it feels to go through what some of you are going through right now, but I’ll do my best to understand and help you feel better! Virtual hugs for everyone!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@karlagil5668]

I cannot relate to what you're going through at all, but I see how positive you've been despite all the hardships. Super inspirational

[@BannerThePonyboxer]

I literally just subscribed to you before this video came out!

[@FlyingWonderGirl]

Likewise!!

[@joshuachiesa6947]

Same

[@nolekatie]

Me too!!!

[@laurenwhitlock2694]

My mom had an ostomy bag when she was alive. And i remember thinkimg that it was so gross and "why do i have to deal with this " "why do i have to help with this im just a kid." I was litrally probably between the ages 9 and 10 when she got it and she died 10 years ago. When i came across your channel i was so interested because i wasnt told so much about it when i was a child changing her bag on my own with just her saying what to do and how to do it. ( she couldnt do much of anything for herself for most of my life she was in a hospital bed) . So thankyou for doing what you do! Its so informative. Its deffinitlyy something that more people should be aware about.

[@suzieq1218]

You're such a delight to watch and an inspiration to so many. Keep up the great message.

[@jld0623]

I stumbled across your videos earlier this afternoon and have been watching them one after another. You are such a brave and amazing woman, thank you for sharing your journey with us! You are a true inspiration!

[@sugarbabyy9833]

[@rosewiththorns4669]

Thank you for the update. I'm so happy for you and relieved that the surgery and recovery went well and are going well. I did subscribe with that ostomy changing video and did a little binge watch and have been waiting to see how it went.

[@yarahalghazawi7929]

I was just on your insta wondering why you didn’t post an update. I’m so glad you’re better!

[@staticnoiz2975]

KZbin suggested that video to me and I watched it because I like to take any chance I can to learn a about anything and everything, especially when it's something I have a phobia about. I don't really find it disgusting, it's just something some people have because human bodies do a lot of different things and a lot can happen with them. But since childhood I've had this irrational fear that involves my tummy and intestines, so it really hits both points. I'm a strong believer in phobias being rooted in ignorance, though, so I especially appreciated being able to watch you talk about it and take care of it as you normally would. As someone who's never experienced it or known anyone who's experienced it, I think you've made an amazing first step in introducing people to it and beginning that education, and you didn't even intend to. Thank you

[@andrewwilkerson7780]

Thank you for the update! The colors of your shirt, and your lippie look so good with your tones. Pretty, pretty! 😊❤Marie

[@bobm5377]

Take care Emily!!! Glad to see you are doing so well!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@victoriajohnson3593]

I am so glad that I came across your channel! I had no idea what any of this was and your story just touched my heart. You are amazing and I can’t wait to see more!❤️❤️❤️

[@braggernaut]

You sound like you could be a really great advocate and “ambassador” for a colon health charity/organization, etc. Good luck.

[@alexandraclark1026]

YOU ARE AMAZING. I cried watching you looking at your tummy. I'm so happy for you. Sending you healthy healing vibes!!!

[@xannamu]

i just came across your videos and i just wanna say that i am so happy for you that you’re so happy with how everything has turned out. you’re such a positive, beautiful girl with such a great attitude! i hope everything continues to work out for you :)

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@amandanicole7955]

Your inspiring. I have watched all your videos because i literally found you today. I have my own stomach issues and had emergency surgery at 17 and spent 3 months in the hospital

[@regretsolo646]

Hey Emily, I've been following you since your first ibd video and I want to thank you so much for posting your journey through your surgeries. They really helped me and my wife prepare for what was going to happen. So far I am 4 weeks post op from step 1 and loving having a life again but still struggle with body image and sleep. I've followed your posts for advice and help on support groups and am really glad to see your doing better now. You touched on my question in this video. My question is, what should I be considering when debating on going through the second and third surgery for a jpouch, or staying with an Ostomy.
