No Date: Hysterectomy+ Colorectal surgeon

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum. I'm a 28 year old mother of twin girls. I found out yesterday, I will be needing a Hysterectomy, removing the Uterus and both Ovaries. My surgery date is not.scheduled yet, bit we are planning onthe Da Vinci method. 2 years ago today, I had 7 feet of Colon removed which left my Small Intestines and one inch of Large Intestine.
I have had a total of three abdominal surgeries, and plenty of adhesions (especially after my vertical incision with my C-Section where I almost had to have a hysterectomy). My OBGYN foresees trouble with the surgery, in regards to my intestines. They want a Colorectal Surgeon to assist. I was told there was a good chance that I may wake up with a temporary Ostomy. Has anyone else woken up with an Ostomy, I'm a bit worried and feel even more alone knowing this could happen

I'm on my phone, sorry about the grammar!

Hi TickledPinkTwic!

Your post is just fine..... I think we all speak phone grammar.

I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this and at such a young age. I do not have any experience with what you are dealing with. Hopefully someone who does will see this post and respond. But regardless, you are not alone - never on this site. We are here to help and support you.

Thank you, in real life I'm the only one. As bad as it sounds, its nice to know that I am not alone!

You are not the only one.....I am having my surgery done by an ob/gyn oncologist because I have intestinal issues as well......have had 6 abdominal surgeries so far.......please post if you have any questions or if I can help in any way .

Thank you. I can say before my Colectomy, I was mentally prepared for an Ostomy, Im just not there yet. She makes it seems highly likely, so I'm just wondering how likely it really is?

Not sure that I can answer that....I am on the opposite end as I only have 6 ft of small intestine....you're supposed to have 26 ......that is why an oncological ob/gyn is doing my surgery...there will also be a gastro intestinal surgeon they in hand as well to combat any unanticipated problems once they get inside .

Plus the best way to prepare for something like that is....expect the worst....hope for the best...and accept what happens....easier said then done but any day above ground is a good day .

I'm lucky that I still have Small Intestines though. That's my thinking, expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised with better

Yes ma'am. !! My first four surgeries were before I was 6 mo.old...have dealt with this my whole life so I understand the fear and frustration...it does get easier .
