colostomy and gastric bypass??????

Jan 29, 2011

hello evryone im new here to this site and im enjoying reading about triumphs and tribulations from all over.....however i do want to acknowledge how absolutely terrified  i am about having this surgery bcuz  on january 15, 2010 i had surgery to remove a big part of my colon due to diverticulitis from which i suffered with for more then 20 years...with the surgery came a colostomy  that however isnt the scary part the really scary part is that i aspirated into my lungs which caused me to stop breathing and in turn i needed CPR which then caused me to spend 7 days in ICU...now it's been a little over a year now and im doing great  since that operation but again i really don't want to die again what if i dont come back next time .....anyway does anyone have any words of encouragement for me i really could use some lately as this has been bothering me for some time now.....
