I call my scars my battle wounds. I am proud of every single one of them cause I know I would not be the same person without them. Be proud of every single one of them cause you would not have the same quality of life without them.

I was very ill as a child. So much so, that at the age of 5 I had an emergency surgery on Christmas Eve. The scar growing up looked like I was literally butchered open and sewn back together by an intern. Every guy I was with, even doctors examining me literally gasped looking at it for the first time. It was exceptionally hard for me because I felt so ugly and unworthy. In my late 20 I found a Doctor doing scar work meaning he would cut out the scar-tissue and put it back together nicer and neater. My scar is, by no means gone but it’s now a very regular looking scar and I have been now living with it looking so much better for a decade and it makes all the difference mentally.

Love the openness about the scars. I am a vet of 17 crohns related surgeries over the last thirty or so years. One day a friend of mine asked how many scars do I have. Lol, i lost track at ten. I call my abdominal scars the roadmap to finding myself. And, although my grumpy old man has been reincarnated four times, he is still my old man and cannot even remember life without him or scars…..

My mom had five c sections in 7 years through a mid line incision. First baby very large and an old fashioned doctor (1951). She had a huge midline scar. She used to joke that she wished they had put in a zipper. The when she was in her fifties she had possible ovarian cancer and anther surgery. Not cancer, yay! She also had a big scar from old style gal bladder sugary . She was like you never complained. You are a special young lady. I just have two scars , one on my lower back from pre melanoma. And a c section scar. I am blessed.❤

I like my midline scar because I too had the peritoneal. Infection and could have died. To me it is a reminder that every day is precious.

Thank you so much for sharing that! I recently got my ostomy reversed, so now I have three very visible scars: the midline, the one where my ostomy used to be, and the one where there was a draining tube from the previous surgery. I also have a few scars from central catheters and whatnot, but it’s the ones on my belly that make me really self-conscious. But I always think of you when I feel insecure because of all that I’ve been through, and I always think “Maggie went through simular things, and she is such a great person, and that means that you can have all that experience and still be a person and still be great” You’re honestly such an inspiration.

I have a lot of scars from so many surgeries that I have lost count. I know it's more than 20 so far. And more will follow in the future. Every scar has a story, and to me, it shows how strong and resilient my body is. After all these surgeries, it's still able to heal. (not fast, but it will heal) And I'm grateful for that!❤

You have been through so much! You are still my ostomy hero and I’ve been watching you faithfully for one year now. I just had my one year anniversary of my own total colectomy surgery and my ileostomy (I named her Grace) and I can’t believe how great I feel a year later. My scar goes from my breastbone to my pubic bone - it’s very long. But my colectomy was because I had C-diff and none of the treatments worked, including a fecal transplant. I would have died without this surgery so I am very grateful for my scar and my stoma. I did have UC for many many years and struggled with that as well. Your videos kept me going and kept me motivated for this past year and I’m so grateful for your knowledge and your inspiration! Thank you for all that you share! ❤❤

I too had nasty c-diff., for 9 months that tried to kill me. It wouldn't respond to medication, but i only had 30 cm of colon, the sigmoid & no one mentioned to me to take it at. We must have really aweful Drs around here. They'd just keep treating in & out of the hospital W/the non-wrking med. as they watched me waste away getting blood transfusion, getting iv through power port nutrients, only during the short hospital stays, keeping me long enough to get my VERY LOW WC, RBC & Platelets raised a little, even though I ask my GI Dr to start me on TPN for home, being i already had a power port for it, he said dont want to do that until last resort because body can get dependant on it & not be able to go back to breaking down reg. food, so ok, just let me day because that might happen?? Ivwas so desperate. ER Drs & hosp. Drs & nurses would tell me they didn't kn how I was still hanging on because ppl bigger & healthier than me didn't last as long. My body begin to eat itself 1 ER Dr at another hosp. I tried tld me & thats why I had a large amt of ketone in my kidneys & had lose the use of my legs that day. W/out going there, I'd prob. died because he said a fast fluid flush of 2 bags was required to flush those ketone out b4 I could go into kidney failure. I actually met a woman a fw yrs later that didn't get ketone flush out in time & also became septic & lost the tips of her fingers & toes on 1 ft & a ft on the other side. About to be dismissed from the hosp once again at my local hosp., weak, barely ae to hold a conversation, bring rushed out in 2020 W/a Dr telling me you can't stay here its too risky for you W/your immune system like it is & we have lots coming in W/CVid & many more expected, so out you go, which I'm pretty sure he thought I was a dead woman anyhow, my husband decided to look up about c-diff in his cell phone & the nxt thing i kn he was handing me his phone telling me to just try to a answer a fw questions for these ppl, so I did. He had found a site about experimental fecal transplants & these ppl did all the wrk for me, got records & had me in their facility 8 days later approved for no cost to have fecal transplant. It was only an hr away in our capital city, Little Rock AR. It wrked for me. The ravaging affects the c-diff left behind in my body after that long, is another story. I had alot of ppl praying & I was crying out to God in the name of Jesus & 1 evening during another ER trip, so so sick & weak, being wheeled down the hallway,, i found myself saying something I'd never said, Son of David have mercy y on me. I thought ok that sounded strange, but pretty sure that's in the Bible. I couldn't remb. in what context, but a fw yrs later I heard a minister mention it in ppl crying out to Jesus. All I kn is God heard my prayers & He did not let me die, though I should have W/the incomlency of AR Drs, But God. Now I dk you or if you have any belief in God or Jesus, but I would have surely died if not for the way Br set things up for me. Why the Drs didn't tell me about removing my sigmoid colon or having a fecal transplant I dk. I'm glad you got over your c-diff. I'm sorry you had to loose all of your colon to do so. You are still here for a reason. I pray you pursue what that is through Jesus, that you find what is the hope of your calling through Christ Jesus as seen in Ephesians chap 1 & Collosions Chap. 1. We were all predestined to be saved through the predestined plan of salvation through Jesus the only begotten of God Himself, for from Himself He sent Himself in flesh form to experience what we experience as fallen sin nature touched humans so He could feel what we feel & understand us in a more personal way & have more compassion for us & He allowed Himself to be taken to the cross to bare our sins for us. He felt all of our pains, sorrows & the darkness of sins upon him, that was a heavy cross to bear W/in Himself. So our God & Savior Jesus Christ is a compassionate God to those Who will surrender & live for Him, denying self ambitions, seeking His will, as He being our creator & the One Who kns us best, knows exactly what will satisfy us in this life, ringing that joy, peace & sense of fulfillment. I still have health struggles & things ahead if me that have to be taken care of, but He's proved to be faithful to me through it all, so I kn He will cont. to do so. I'm actually not taking my life forgranted anymore after my what ended up being a 2 yr ordeal, because there's so much more to the story to what I was going through that caused me to have c-diff & the things I developed because of c-diff, 1 being a hiatel hernia that I tell you the truth, the Drs wouldn't operate because they said I was too fragile & prob wouldn't make it through the surg., but after telling God for 3mo that it'll have to be Him & I believe You can & will do it, the night b4 a scheduled endoscopy to see how it was looking, I felt a surge of electricity surge bck/forth head-toes for over a minute at least & the nxt morn. the hernia & ulcer were not there, by proof of test & Drs words. I've come a long ways. I sing in the choir, sing solos, started a children's choir then became the Childrens ministry teacher at our little church & I've done some online f.b. live ministering videos, ALL things I would not have persued b4 drawing closer to God during my ordeal & hearing Him like never b4, because I had alot of anxiety & couldn't stand to be up in front of ppl. So I dk why I tell you prt of my testimony or encourage you to seek what is your calling in Cbridt Jesus but when I feel to share i just do it. If it's not for you than prob. for someone else who will read this comment to your comment. God Bless. Have a great day!

I've never considered myself to have health problems, but counting, I realized I've had 8 surgeries in my life which is a few. The majority of mine have been reproduction related, including two c-sections, a ruptured ectopic, a hemorrhage emergency after a stillbirth delivery, an low intestinal blockage I had 8 months pregnant, and removal of my ovaries and remaining tube after I had extremely large solid mass tumors (thankfully benign) develop. It can be a lot being a woman lol. My husband died suddenly at 45, and he never had one surgery in his life.

I’ve had my midline scar opened 4 times (total colectomy, jpouch made, the first stoma made then reversed, and my permanent stoma) my first stoma was on my right side, now it’s on my left side, and when I had my gallbladder removed they did try it laparoscopically but due to scar tissue they had to do an open surgery, where they cut was pretty much right over it so the scar is smaller than it would have been. So I completely understand what it’s like with scars!

I was born with only one functioning kidney (the other just never fully developed in utero) and the one that does work is less than healthy and has caused chronic kidney stones and narrowing in my ureter. This has meant multiple surgeries over the last 15ish years. Most of which have been done endoscopic or laparoscopic and it can be really difficult to be out of work for months with nothing to show for scars. Especially because kidney pain is some of the worst pain I have ever experienced.

You have dealt with so many things, and you're so young. I have issues and am still not getting answers. I had a colonoscopy, and the surgery results show inflammation, and I had precancerous polyps, but also looping with my intestines. I have terrible stomach aches and intestinal pain. I had ischemic colitis right before my daughter's wedding. I asked the GI doctor about the looping and if it could have to do with the ischemic part of the colitis. He said no that's usually from low blood pressure. I needed to know what else was going on, and he pretty much said that i don't have cancer. I wasn't only worried about that. I wish that I could eat a normal meal and not have so much pain after. Then i talked to my regular gp. I told him about the looping and he said that definitely could have caused it. Now I am going to see a different gi doctor. On top of that, when i was hospitalized I also had a septic kidney infection. I have spent my life with multiple medical issues. No one seems to understand what it is about me. I have issues with joints and had a knee replacement when I was in my thirties. Lots of issues and an infection in the bone with the knee replacement. Now our really good friend just had to have 80% of his colon taken out. All the other doctors wanted to remove the colon. He has had Crohns that was diagnosed a few years ago. I am so afraid for him. They said that he was very close to having cancer. Its been a week and a half and he's still been feeling pretty sick. He's trying to eat soft foods. If this doesn't help, they will remove the whole colon. I don't understand why they saved some of his colon. Will he be able to every eat normally again? I told him that he should listen. Right now, he is scared. Im trying to tell h[

When I had to go back I went down hill fast my bowel had come completely apart and I turn very septic and was lucky to survive. I then ended up with an ileostomy and have now started treatment for chrons disease. I'm 13 weeks into my ileostomy and I'm struggling with it just want it reversed.

I'm so tired of getting the blocks, that you refer to as strictures. I get blocked in the only 30cm of colon that I have left, the sigmoid. Since I'm on high powered daily meds to keep me going, for the last fw yrs, going from some minor stuff to more major stuff because it seems that I can't break down food well, especially carbs, lentils & meat, which I don't do red meat, 1 because it was the hardest to break down & know i have alpha-gal syndrome, but still after 10 yrs of the sigmoid wrking alone it seems its not wrking well unless i have watery stool all the time, which is what the meds do, but then because of that some stuff that didnt break down well gets stuck & I don't kn it because I'm having all that diarehha & by the time I kn it, I hve gone from a lower stricture to also a higher stricture. Its so miserable. Pain, not being able to eat, trying to get by on lots of castor oil, prune juice, enemas, extra softners & other laxative stuff while on jello(which i just fig. out i can't have because of alpha-gal & gelatin comes from animal fat), & drinking chicken bone broth, ZERO Poweraides for electrolytes & adding in a non-dairy small protein shake twice a day so I can take medication that requires me to eat & during all of this i feel really sick & sometimes take phenergan, can't go anywhere for days, my rectal is so on fire & swollen as I'm constantly going to get rid of the severe impaction or mild blockage. SO TIRED OF THIS!!! I refuse to go to the Dr or hosp. for help, so it takes me 3-5 days of this at home to get unblocked. The hosp. will put an NG tube in & I can't tolerate them & when I ask them to take it out because I can't handle it any longer plus I think I'm gonna start throwing up on my own, they ignore me saying Drs orders. I tell them call the Dr. I end up loosing it & pulling it put myself, which I kn is dangerous, but I loose my senses about it after so many hrs. I struggle W/clostraphobia. .pst dbt understand that includes being restricted in any way, not having control over something, makes ppl W/this feel entrapped. I'm just coming to the end of getting unstoppable up & again i was thinking of when I ran across your videos sometime last yr & listened to a fw & read a fw ppls comments/testimonials about breaking down & getting a bag & the diff. it made in their lives. I tld .y husband yesterday I'm really considering going to my GI Dr, which I haven't gone to see in, it'll be 2 yrs in Dec., because I've been getting med. fills from PCP for phenergan & other stuff & he's a good drive away & I have so many other health issues & specialist to see. I just had bicep tearing surg. in Feb. & am looking at another carpal tunnel surg. soon. I have Elners Danlos Syndrome, EDS, a connrctive tissue disorder that affects alot of stuff. I am concerned about the healing process if I have this type of surg. to get a bag, because I have trouble laying on either 1 of my sides for long, so I flip flop like a fish then end up on my back, which I hate back sleeping, but I have both my SI joints & Both hips have issues, so to be laid up is painful for me. My skin is thin & fragile from EDS, so its prone to split open. It didn't W/my hysterectomy nor my almost complete partial colectomy, but I was a little less fragile, I had more weight, more fat & muscle which helped plump up/support my thin skin a bit, but 2017 carpal tunnel surg., my hand split open, so I'm concerned about splitting open if have stitches in rectal area, but I'm gonna have to make a chose soon. Afyer my surg 10 yrs ago this month, tge Dr tld me I may also have to get the 30cm removed 1 day. I think I'm there. I have questions?? I hope the answers will help me say the surg. will be worth all the recovery pain. Is there anyway to still get blocked up W/no colon & an ostomy bag? QUESTION: Can feces still get stuck in the digestive parts of the stomach, if someone has a hard time breaking down certain foods, &/or certain medications that slow things down? I don't kn if you kn that answer but I thought I'd ask. Maybe someone else on here might have experienced this, having an ostomy bag & these issues & either yes or no they do or don't get blocked up anymore? This is what happens to me now is feces sitting in there getting me toxic until I cleanse it out in 3-5 days. I have a huge poop baby belly. After my partial(most of)colon removal everything I ate went through me fast, but after a fw yrs that stopped & I've now gone to the other extemreme. I do believe its been much worse since after my 9mo ordeal W/C-diff that almost killed me a fw yrs ago. I got to 97lbs & finally made 110 but maintaining that is difficult so I fall below alot.i can't eat much or I get blocked. I don't have much of an appetite, prob because I've always got some amt thats too much, of fecal in me. Everytime I have an X-ray or scan for something that is low enough they catch view of my stomach, they say you have alot of fecal matter or you have an impaction. Sick of it! QUESTIONS: HOW LONG did you say about, that the recovery from the pain in the rectal area lasted? DO YOU have to get tpn or take special types of vitamins since the colon is what absorbs nutrients if we get it through eating???
