I'm sorry this all so new to me. I think the majority of it is in the sigmoid.

I'm having so much anxiety about the surgery, really scared about embarassing ostomy accidents and worried about the reversal surgery too. Does EVERYONE have accidents with their ileostomy? Is the reversal really risky? I couldn't get my doctor to call me back today with the results of my MRI. I'm just a bundle of NERVES tonight.
