Had it done and reversed, it's no walk in the park but a year later....I'm doing and poopin just fine....and the cancer is gone!!

[@Stomanner]

This is such a good video animation describing the need for a Stoma (ileostomy or colostomy)! It's surprising how this detail isn't always explained before or even after surgery - I think it's valuable advice that I wish I knew at the time of surgery. I'll share this on my @Stomanner channel.

[@talebmariemfayza3691]

Hi I am from Algeria,my brother have an iliostomie ,he can't admit his surgery,thank you for your videos 👏

[@Sherirose1]

thank you for explaining the difference

[@DJHEAVYDUTY]

Don't let this video lie to you. There is nothing easy about life with a stoma

[@drnahed1275]

why ?

[@landosanchez1358]

dr nahed would you want your stoma farting or passing gas while being somewhere like school or work and what about when having “Intimate moments” by that I mean having sexual relation with your love one no that’s embarrassing

[@ninagreen357]

Yes dont let it lie to you my son had alot of gas with his pressure and it would fill up with air all the time then the glue does not allways stay then you have the liquid poop leaking all over your stomach all over your clothes all over your stitches in your wounds plus when he would go to bed have a hard time now my son passed away dec.2/2018 from the colostomy bag with the ileostomy then cut his upper and lower bowel and he went into septic shock and killed him so think before you get one one life saved by this is worth the warning

[@biggus6633]

Nina Green Your son died? Damn. Sad that he had to suffer with that thing in his final moments. Im sorry for your loss.

[@rg2181]

@@ninagreen357 your son didn't die from having a colostomy. He died because he got an infection

[@aryavravi5757]

Nice presentation

[@Nightweaver1]

I have a temporary loop ileostomy now, and will have it probably till February when they can reconnect my intestine to the J-pouch the surgeon created. This thing is a gigantic pain in the ass and I hate it. Emptying the bag is messy and gross, and removal is extremely painful because the adhesive sticks so well, even with removal wipes. The output from this thing stinks like nothing I have ever smelled before in my life -- worse than actual poop. I hope I don't get an abdominal infection from an ill-fitting skin barrier and end up in hospital before they can remove this thing.

[@DrTobe-of6mv]

Now are you recovered or not?

[@DrTobe-of6mv]

Is it not curable?

[@bilaltech2781]

I have a question If the stool is passes to the bag then whatbis the purpose or role of large intestine in ileectomy patient?

[@zahidBaloch-qn1pp]

hi, what are the chances of patient with stoma becomming weak ? due to malnutrition ? as the food is not properly absorb ..do they take multivitamins ?

[@sloanske5998]

zahid Baloch10 for me I have a thing called a pic line kinda like an iv but there’s a tube and it goes through my body but anyway i get hooked up to a bag with a hole bunch of nutrients and stuff that goes through it every night

[@sloanske5998]

zahid Baloch10 iv actually gained wait

[@schweizerd6303]

almost went thru with this op due to a misdiagnosis of crohns disease, glad i didnt would have regretted it! just imagine the thing coming off while in a swimming pool and the poo poo goes everywhere!

[@sahilarora850]

Schweizer d Please! At least stop spreading negativity, if you can't spread positivity in the first place.

[@Stomanner]

Fortunately it's been my answer to remission from Crohns disease and I hope you find the right treatment for your misdiagnosis. I've actually had a time when swimming and the adhesive came unstuck, the ostomy bag was still contained in my trunks and luckily I'd emptied the pouch before getting in the water. There are times like this you definitely need to plan our think what might happen.

[@biggus6633]

Schweizer d Wouldn’t water fill up in your intestines if the bag came off???

[@sloanske5998]

Big Gus no iv herd that people go swimming with them I don’t know how but they do

[@alexkachok8812]

This is ....yep

[@armiichouful]

I don’t mean to sound stupid or offensive, but if the waste are discharged through bags, does that mean that people who have an ostomy bag don’t use their « natural » tubes (anus and urethra )?

[@sloanske5998]

armiichou nope I haven’t taken a regular shit for about 3-4 months

[@sloanske5998]

armiichou it really sucks because that use to be my favorite part of the day

[@dianabandalac9568]

What causes this?

[@mikescully6546]

Diana Bandalac ulcerative colitis is what I had. They dont know why you get it, some people are just lucky enough.

[@hughvane]

Cancer of the small intestine, or the first stage of the large intestine (colon), necessitating surgical removal of a section; plus, as the video explains, something like Crohns Disease.

[@sarahbogdan4284]

Medical Malpractice - surgeon perforated my colon during routine colonoscopy. BEWARE of risks!!

[@Sukiv4]

Damage to that area can also cause it, for example if you get in a bad car crash and just so happy to get injured in one of the intestines and it needs time to heal you'll get this.

[@landosanchez1358]

Or being really bad constipated that you can’t pass stool through your colon is one cause to
