Modern pouching systems enable most individuals to resume normal activities and lifestyles after surgery, often with no outward physical evidence of the stoma or its pouching system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoma_(medicine) Good luck! | ||

I'm really bad at explaining things so i'll just paste some information. "The Kock Pouch is an example of a continent ileostomy, so called because the contents of the small intestine stay within the body until the patient decides to empty it. The Kock pouch consists of a reservoir constructed from the small intestine, and a nipple valve which keeps the contents of the reservoir inside the body, and permits entry of an external catheter to drain the pouch when desired. The catheter is a simple hollow plastic tube. It is inserted about 5 inches into the stoma, and the contents of the reservoir come out on their own. Immediately after surgery the pouch is emptied about every three hours, because the reservoir is small. But following the surgery it grows in size until it can be emptied only 3 or 4 times a day, approximately 2 months after surgery. In the absence of late night meals, it is rare to have to get up at night to empty. This is in contrast to some of the alternative surgeries such as the J pouch, where night time emptyings are generally necessary. In between emptyings, the stoma is covered with a piece of gauze to absorb the mucus coming from it. The stoma is typically about 1/2 inch in diameter."- source http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~pls/kock/ It's not really a stoma. It's more a reservoar inside the body. So i dont have to deal with a bag hanging from my stomach. There will be a hole in the stomach that is covered with a bandage. Here's a picture of what it'll hopefully look like + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~pls/kock/pict.jpg) That being said. I haven't really decided if i want to go through with the operation. My doctor says it'll make my life liveable and it would increase the the quality. However, i'm not sure how i would coupe living a life where i'm referenced as "the guy with a stoma". There is no going back if i make the call that i want a stoma. | ||

My rectum is so damaged that i can barely squeeze out a shit. Recently i got a fistula that went from my rectum to my seminal vesicle. I got terrified when i had a wank and my sperm was red and filled with blood. Oh, god that image will never go away. | ||
