What to expect from Barbie's butts Surgery
I wanted to discuss getting a "Barbie Butt" in this blog and some things you should know about the procedure and life afterward.
First of all, I should say that having a proctocolectomy was undoubtedly one of my greatest choices. I was initially given the choice of perhaps having my ileostomy reversed. The hospital allowed me to wait five years between my initial procedure and the final choice of getting reconnected or having a proctocolectomy. When I was taken into the hospital with only two hours to live, I was too sick for them to finish the entire surgery!
I did feel a little frustrated over the course of the five years, but I was already pretty depressed and was fighting some really bad thoughts. I had trouble with the idea of having a "choice" because what if I picked the wrong one? What if I were to reconnect? What if I needed to have everything removed? It was a difficult moment, and if anyone else is having to make this choice, know that I completely understand your concerns. Just keep in mind that if you have a choice, go with what's best for YOU!
After conducting a ton of research and speaking with numerous online users, I personally decided to get my anal stump removed. I did not make this choice lightly, but once I had finished, I felt much better about myself. I was able to get rid of all the ulcerative colitis, and almost immediately after, I could tell a difference in myself. I was feeling better than I had in the previous five years.
The hardest part of this operation was undoubtedly recovery; it wasn't painful; it was simply awkward. For six weeks, I could not sit down on my bum directly. I had to get up to eat, and I had to lie down if I wanted to sit down.
The part about the stitches was terrible, but after that, you just move on and stop thinking about it being a "bum."
You wouldn't be able to tell by my appearance that I don't have a bum hole. You don't typically make that region visible to the public! You still have bum cheeks since only the hole region has been stitched up. If flaunting it off is your thing, no one would ever know until they were really up close because the scar itself appears like a bum hole. (I won't pass judgment on what you do in your spare time!)
Truth be told, it's very great not to have a bum. I was ready for one or the other to be gone after having a stoma and needing to use the bathroom every day to expel mucus for years!
One of my biggest concerns was that I wouldn't be able to squat or exercise, but nothing has changed. I don't feel any pain down there, so I can do everything without even thinking about it.
Occasionally, I might see a tiny tear in the scar where I might bleed a bit, but these occurrences are rare and only occur when I've been working out a lot or am extremely exhausted.
I would just add that it might have an impact on people who prefer anal intercourse. For a gay man, for part, it might take away some of the pleasure of having sex, but you can address this before the surgery with the doctors, your friends, and/or your family. Personally, I was more concerned with staying well, and I believe you can work out all that stuff later on when you're feeling up to it. After my surgery, I've always had happy relationships; there have never been any problems. Since I'm now single, I no longer feel uncomfortable telling individuals that I might someday have a sexual connection with them.
As you can see, I am at a stage in my life where I am able to deal with Ulcerative Colitis, Ileostomies, and Proctocolectomies without any restrictions. It's a part of my journey and tale, and if I can help individuals by providing the answers to issues they find difficult to find, then I've done my job.
