Episode 109 (Radio Edit — Full Ep on Spotify): HungerFF — Back in One Piece: My Colostomy Reversal Recovery

I'm very excited today to report that my surgery was a huge success.

I am officially back in one piece.

It's a really bizarre, surreal feeling.

I'd gotten so used to having the bag and was so comfortable with it that it almost feels like I should have had like a little memorial service for my, my, my stoma.

So I'm, but in, in the end, the decision that I made was that I was ready to just start living the rest of my life without having to worry about having a bag of shit attached to my stomach.

So the week in one, if I had to sum up the week in one word, I would just say overwhelming.

It was a really painful process.

I'm not going to lie.

I'm not going to like sugarcoat it.

I had some serious, serious pain in the hospital.

Once the general anesthesia wore off, it was painful.

my colon had kind of coming back to life, which I did some research on like how the surgery works after I had it done and like the history of it.

Cause it just seemed to me like, it's like human torture basically.

Like how would they have discovered that like they could connect two pieces of colon together and have it actually like fuse together again.

And so like I did some research on that and just like learned about the history of the surgery.

And I found out that like, even before the surgery is done, the tissue actually starts like fusing together.
