UOAA Discussion Board

I am new to this board- (altho I did secretly read it for the past few months!) in December I went in for my first colonoscopy- doc said she couldn't complete it due to my twisty, narrow colon. 3 days later I was rushed by ambulance to hospital with peritonitis. I was septic and had a perforated colon!! ended up with emergency colectomy with colostomy bags (stoma and mucus fistula) 7 weeks after that I had colostomy reversed. that was in February. I went to dr yesterday and received confirmation that i now have a hernia where the stoma was. Dr wants to do mesh repair. i am terrified of yet another surgery. prior to all of this was very fit and healthy. now i am covered in scars and weak.
has anyone here had experience with ostomy- related hernia? hard to find info on line cuz all that comes up are inguinal and abdominal hernias that are from different origin than mine. TIA

Had mine repaired"was in same place as yours" and its fine, My Dr. just sewed it together because of mesh failures he said, been over a year and no problems so far..Best of luck sassie
