In this powerful episode of The Bowel Chronicles, we reconnect with 25-year-old Alisha, who first shared her story of slow colon transit and undergoing ileostomy surgery at just 12 years old.

After facing challenges that led to further surgery, including multiple manual evacuations and hospitalizations she underwent further surgery in July 2024. She takes us through her experience of having a full pan proctocolectomy, life now with her Barbie Butt, and her plan to return to work as a nurse very soon. 

Alisha opens up about the emotional and physical aspects of recovery, sharing valuable insights, tips, and preparations that helped her navigate surgery and post-op life. If you or someone you know is facing surgery, this episode is a must-listen!
