Hi everyone!
I am really looking for some assistance. To be honest, I am not the
one that will have the colostomy done. My fiance will have the
colostomy surgery at the end of October. He has a disease called
Hidradenitis Suppurativa, which attacked the muscles/tissues
surrounding his colon. This caused them to become severly diseased.
He has the top Colo-Rectal Surgeon in the SF Bay Area.

I have a lot of questions and am unsure of where to start. So I'll
start with the basics. Was the colostomy used as a last resort? Why
did you have the colostomy done? How has your life changed, and has
it changed for the better or worse. What can I, as a significant
other expect?

I do understand that this is a group for people with Colostomy's so
if I don't belong here, I completely understand.

Thank you!!!
Desiree
