Ostomy location for surgery tomorrow

Cate87Member

My third ostomy surgery is tomorrow. It feels unreal. I'm seeing my doctor in a few to find a good location for it. It has been on my right side and I'd prefer it there since I'm used to it. Only trouble is my scar. The appliance isn't sticking to it so we have to find a new location. I'm very nervous about another surgery so soon. Takedown was may 31st. I'm trying hard to embrace the ostomy since I will be keeping it for at least a few years while I go through grad school and enjoy my life. Hopefully I can find a good location for this new one.
