I'm a nurse in the US (Georgia specifically) & I reallllly enjoy watching all your videos. Working in trauma/emergency nursing I don't get to hear about long term things people go through or this in depth of pt experience. I love your content outside of this stuff too. So sorry to hear this though & sending happy healthy thoughts your way!

It's been just over three weeks since I went in to have a colonoscopy for my ulcerative colitis. During that procedure my bowel was perforated and I ended up with an emergency ileostomy that afternoon (the bowel was in horrible shape). I told sooooo many people (doctors, nurses, friends, family; anyone who came in to my room really) that the reason I was dealing with the whole thing so well was because you shared your experience with the world. You sharing your experience on KZfaq and me being able to watch that content back at the beginning of the year before all this happened for myself allowed me to come to terms with accepting my stoma a lot better and treating this journey with a positive outlook! Thank you so so much I honestly have know idea how I would have coped with the last few weeks without the amazing work you've done!

I know your pain. My kidney was destroyed when a stone blocked the ureter and the back pressure tears the kidney tissue apart. Its “kill me now” pain. The passage of time makes the memory of that pain fade. Good to see you survived with a smile. Sorry you have had to go thru all this...

Crazy respect for Dan having the mental strength to keep supporting you through all this! and also of course glad you're now doing better and Mona is working again! lets hope no more surgery!

So sad to hear that you were in hospital again :( As a healthy person, I will make sure to run and jump and dance and appreciate every second of it. For you, for my grandpa who's leg was just amputated and for all other people who can't.

Aww Hannah I’ve been following this whole thing and I was so amazed by how brave and honest you are. I am so sure that this is extremely helpful for a huge number of people out there. Even if just to feel not so alone. I am sending you lots of love and lots of get well soon vibes ❤️

It sounds like an awful month for you! I'm so glad you're getting better even with the set backs. I also have a chronic illness and it's so validating to hear you talk about your frustration and discouragement. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but since it's out of my control, it sure is nice to know I'm not alone in the sometimes-discouraged club. I wish you a speedy recovery and no more adhesions!

I am in Med school and literally studying ibds and gastroenterology for my next exam and following your journey has been both very informative and interesting. Wishing you all the best xx

Same happened to me 2 years ago after I had my large bowel removed 😞

Actually cringing at the central line needle size! So glad you're on the mend again, continue to get well soon! xx

Sorry to hear that you've had to go through this again. Stay strong, Hannah!

Couldn't relate more re mindset of 'oh this is gonna happen again'. I had my stoma for 2 years and then all of a sudden my small intestine twisted itself ☺️👍 cool. It's called volvulus. I had to have emergency open surgery to fix it and was so nervous for a long time after. It's now been another year and I'm fine 😊 try not to worry and celebrate small victories! Here to chat if you want xx

It is astonishing to me just how unbelievably strong you are. Everything about this is makes me sad and angry for you so I cannot even imagine how you feel. I am so glad you have such a strong support system around you, but I also pray for all the people out there that might also be going through this without that support system. I hope your videos at least will reach them to show them their not alone ❤

What a sh*tshow. So sorry all this happened to you. Very glad you’re better now. I remember not being allowed to eat anything for like three and a half days due to hospital stuff and this girl I was sharing a room with constantly dug into her snacks and ate all her food directly next to me. I never wanted to harm a living being but this one had it coming.

Wow! I've had my fair share of hospital experiences, but this is another level of intensity. I'm so sorry, it sucks, but glad to hear physical recovery is going well!

I’m so so sorry to hear this. You are so strong, I cannot even imagine going through half of this. I hope you have good recovery from now on ❤️

thank you for sharing this with us. I am sorry this is happening to you- makes me feel grateful that I have no illness and you probably wont take feeling healthy for granted anymore. Please take care Hannah I hope you dont feel obligated to post a ton if you do not feel up to it give yourself a break.

Poor you! This really sucks and I am sorry, that you have to go through so much! But I am sure your openess about all this is a tremendous help to many, many people in similar conditions! Keep your head up and greetings from Austria!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!! You and your man are going to do fine.💞 It shows that you see things through together.😊😘

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. listening to you tell the story about it honestly put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye for you I hope you never have to experience that again big hugs to you keep us all updated I wish you well

Had tears in my eyes the entire time, it's really hard watching you go through this but I'm so proud of you for being so strong! I hope things start looking up from now on, love ♡

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with all of this Hannah, but you can get through this, you did it once and you can damn well do it again! Keep that PMA! I wish you a speedy recovery, and I’m sending you lots of love! You’re so brave and inspiring!

Stinks that you had to get another surgery for your stoma Hannah. I am sorry that this happened to you. I am glad that you are okay

SO sorry to learn of this but I'm THRILLED that you're OK and healing! You have been handed FAR more than your share of adversity at such a young age but your resiliency, attitude and spirit are both amazing and commendable! Get well soon Hannah we NEED bright minds and individuals like you!

Wishing you a speedy & wonderful recovery Hannah! Your openness about the entire process is very helpful for increasing awareness about IBD. Lots of love xx

Hannah you're so strong, I'm sorry this is happening to you but I also admire you so much for coming out of this and still have a smile on youre face. I had health problems in the past and they weren't nearly as bad as what you're going through and I know how badly that got me down mentally and I honestly have so much admiration that you've now gone through it for the second time and still have that sense of positivity about you, it requires a special kind of strenght 💛

Aww Hannah I'm sorry you have been through all of this but you're one strong,awesome human,as I'm sure you are aware!!! 💜

So sorry you have to go trough all of this. I hope you recover quickly and have no further complications. I am so impressed with how you cope with all of this. You are so strong!

I know it wasn't easy but i really admire for your strength to keep going and still see the positive side and also still talk to us and being there to be part of your life. i love you for that!! you are best and keep it up!

Lots of love and prayers to you Hannah! Hope you heal and recover super quickly!

I need to tell you that you are so inspiring to talk about this so openly, here! As you were describing the steps of what was happening it brought me back to when I had stage 4 appendix cancer and I can understand different elements of what you have gone through! You show your bravery in these videos, there are many lows in this process so when you hit a high it feels so great! When you were discussing the NG tube and using the sponge for any type of moisture, I know that is an amazing feeling to get anything!! You have a wonderful attitude about this whole process and I can tell you are a strong person to get through this!! Again thank you for posting this and hopefully many others will be inspired by your bravery!!! This experience has changed your life, but you are a going to be stronger because of it!!! Thank You for sharing your story!!!

You’re so strong and I think it’s so amazing that you share your story and bring awareness to this. As a long time follower, I’m so proud of you!

I am very very sorry hearing about it!!! I am not a fan of many youtubers or many people in general, but I am really a fan of you. I am very sorry you had through all of that being the amazing person you are. Seeing how you are being so strong, open minded and adaptive through that crap makes me feel even more as a fan and increases the mount that I like you. I truly believe you will do well and that shitty experience (pun not intended) will end and all will be well soon. Get well soon Hannah!!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry this happened! Thank you so much for sharing, you're a great role model for young women with health problems - you certainly help me feel a lot better about it. I hope you're recovery continues to go well!

Dear lord girl! I had to take a break through story to just breathe, you are a trooper! I hope you get to 110% soon and no more issues from here on out! 💛💛💛

Sending you every ounce of love. I went through a fucking horrific time dealing with suicidal feelings for much of this year and watching your videos was one of my go to methods for coping when I was trying to stop the need to end things. You probably saved my life a few times, so even though I don't know you I have a tremendous amount of care and love for you. I hope you will be okay, I'm sure I'm not alone in being touched by your wonderful personality ❤️

I just adore how open and honest you are about your health. I was so enclosed about my health mentally and physically for so long after having brain surgery, and it’s made my recovery so much more elongated. You’re so inspiring for young woman like me and so many others, Hannah🤗💗

Sending you all the best 💜💜 so good of you to be open about this! xxxxx

I hope you and Mona are healthy for a long time!!! God bless you.

You are so strong, Hannah! I am in awe of you xx

I hope recovery is kind to you, I'm wishing you so much strength !!

I've been fed through a nasogastric tube but never had one to drain my stomach - I wasn't aware that was a thing. Sorry you've been through this and hope you have a speedy recovery. x

I believe in you

Thank you so much for sharing this. You are awesome and my favourite youtuber! Also me and mum think you are inspirational. Hope your recovery is speedy xx

Hannah - you are one brave Cookie. Respect !!

You are the only person that I feel can completely understand what I’m going through. I so sorry you had to do surgery again and the frustration after finally feeling better and able to freakin’ live again. In two weeks I will go through surgery to get my stoma put down and I’m super nervous. Wish you all the best and health in the future 💕

That's to bad that you had to go through all of that again. Sorry to hear about. I am happy that you are getting better and I hope you don't have to go through that again. I wish you all the best and you have a lot of fans supporting you.

I'm sorry for all that has happened, but I'm glad you're OK now. Keep strong Hannah! I'm sure this is going to be over soon❤

I was in hospital with a family member when she had emergency abdominal surgery last month and she was the same way! She had not eaten for days and was not allowed to drink any water. Finally she was allowed to have one cup of ice chips every four hours. She was SO AWARE of the time lol. Then after her surgery she was allowed to have liquids and unlimited ice chips. She was so incredibly ecstatic. I kept having to remind her that she could have more and she was so pleased each time.

Glad you're back on the mend! Lots of happy thoughts that your stamina returns soon! 💜

Can't imagine what it must have been to go through surgeryagain. I'm sorry and hope you are felling better now. Wish you all of the best!

Bless you Hannah this has been a rough month! Talk away, I'm so glad it helps and we are all rooting for you. Take it easy on yourself now xxxxxxxx

I’ve had multiple abdominal gynaecological surgeries. Can honestly say that adhesions were the most painful and scary experiences. I knew I had minimal organs left for there to be a problem, so couldn’t understand why I was in so much pain. FYI pineapple juice with mouth sponges is really good for the dryness!

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so disappointing when you feel like you are finally getting better and then you get knocked back a few steps. I'm proud of you for haw far you've come and how far you will come.

A&E Accident and Emergency aka ER.

So glad you're on the mend again. 💕 You're such a strong lady. Big kudos to Dan for being so amazing too.

When I saw this on your Twitter, I was so annoyed for you cus you don’t deserve all of this! You’re so lovely! So happy you’re strong and fabulous xx

I'm a 4th year med student, and in all your videos describing your history with ulcerative colitus and in regards to your stoma, your descriptions are very well described and explained, without having medical education. Well done you! Also I think you're amazing and very inspirational. I wish you all the best with your recovery and future health x

Hannah, I know how you feel, I've had 8 surgeries since Oct 31,2012. It really takes a great deal out of you. I received a new left shoulder April 26,2018 so I'm in recovery right now. You are doing a great service by talking about all you have gone through, it makes others not feel they are alone.

Your health journey sounds a bit like a game of snakes and ladders, you hit a snake that took you back down a bit but now you know where a couple more ladders are so you can get back to where you were a bit faster. I hope you land on even more ladders for the course of your recovery 💛💛💛💛💛

oh my god! plss get well soon! I hope you feel much better now💛💕

I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all that! Glad recovery is looking better this time, wishing you all the good luck in the world.

You’re so strong Hannah for going through this and talking so openly about it! Get well soon, we’re all rooting for you ❤️

It sucks that this happened to you. I think it's amazing that you are so open and willing to share your experience with us, and I'm sure we'll all be sending you good vibes to help with your recovery.

I'm so sorry this happened to you Hannah. Whatever happens you're still on an upward trajectory and you're doing amazing!! Xxx

Get well soon Hannah, you are doing so well ♥️

Thinking of you!! I hope the recovery goes well, you're amazing and so strong and I can't wait to see all the amazing things you're going to be doing once you're up and about

I find you inspirational Hannah! I’ve had several health problems throughout my life and I can relate a lot to what you’re going through. I get the mental state tho, when stuff comes back (even if it’s not the same) it seems like it will never go away and it will never get better. But it not only will get better as you will get stronger about it. Every day you learn something new about what you have and that also will help you in dealing with it. Thanks for sharing your experience, I am not only learning but feeling comforted in knowing that I’m not the only one with a subpar health in my 20s.

You’re really amazing Hannah! Thank you for your honesty! You will get there, you’re a seriously tough cookie, you’re doing exactly the right thing by talking about it plus, you’re making others in similar positions feel less alone. You’re a star. Lots of love xx

you’re doing so good hannah, and you’re so strong! recovery in anything is always up and down but lets hope its big up and only little downs from now on!! feel better soon my love❤️

BIG HUGS BACK AT YOU!!! So much of what you talk about in this is in such a good humour, it is hard to realize how devastating it must have been, except that it happened to me after knee surgery... a fall put me back 2 months, but better than the 6 months after surgery... keep cool (have a daughter up in Liverpool, sweating it out)... both mentally and physically... cheers, dc

Hi Hannah I'm glad you're recovering well and sorry to hear this happened to you again! I've been following your journey since the start and I think you're the strongest and bravest person! X

Hey Hannah! Know what you're going through. It's a tough time and big respect for powering on through it! From what you've said in this video and your previous videos I've had the same treatments but for Hirschsprung's disease. I had a Stoma for 3 years and had many surgeries, most recently the 'pull-through' which removed my stoma. I had a large part of my bowel removed and the same with the 'megarectum' within the first few surgeries. I'm now 17 and stoma-free. Stay strong and keep doing what you're doing!

Oh Em Gee!!!! Sweetheart I am so sorry that you were going through all this. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! As a nurse, it’s so helpful to hear stories about patients and how they perceive healthcare. I hoe you have a fast recovery!

You're so strong and inspirational, you have no idea! I hope everything goes smooth from now on, wishing you all the best ❤️

Huge hugs to you, Hannah! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Im so sorry this happened. I can only imagine what it must be like, i hope you get better soon!!!!

ugh i am so so sorry you have to through all this hannah, you're such a strong person and I wish you a really speedy recovery and hope mona behaves forever now! sending love

You are so incredibly strong! Sending lots and lots and lots of love! ❤☀

I admire you so much Hannah! I can't even imagine how you must be feeling... I think you're insanely strong but also that it's completely fine if you sometimes don't feel like you are. Keep talking about how you feel and keep getting better!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Wishing you the best xx

Get well soon 💐💐💐

so sorry you're going through this, and wishing you the best and quickest recovery!!

I have ulcerative colitis and I love watching your videos, especially when you are so open about your experiences! It means a lot and makes me feel much more positive about my situation to see how strong you are through it! You really inspire me :) hope the rest of your 2018 is lovely, you deserve it xx

Hannah I'm so sorry this happened! I hope you recover speedily and that Mona doesn't play up again anytime soon. Your strength and bravery is truly remarkable and I wish you all the best.

gosh hannah. i’m so so sorry. you’re so brave. i was in hospital with an ibs flare up a while back but nothing like this. it was super hard to deal with and i can’t imagine how you dealt with that. so proud of you

Listening to you talk about your hospital experience is so interesting for me, it's very inspirational how you've just overcame each hurdle and keep going. Thanks for using this (and other) difficult times in your life to educate people. I hope Mona sorts herself out and you recover fully soon!x

Hannah thankyou so much. I have been struggling a lot recently with the mental Side of a chronic illness and to see you speak so honestly is just such a gift. I have watched your channel for over a year now and love the content and your bubbly personality (something we share). I'm not usually a commenter lol but this just really came at a good time. You showed so much strength, and I hope you know that, even if you don't feel that strength inside your head atm. Thankyou again for this video and for sharing your stories x

sending you LOADS of hugs hannah, im really sorry you have to go through this :( so happy to hear that you're feeling a little bit better though, im keeping you in my thoughts x

So glad it helps you to be able to share your story! So amazing and strong Hannah!

Thank you for making this video and sharing it on your channel! I hope you are recovering well xx

glad you're on the mend again, sorry you had to have surgery again. take care. support always.

Oh, Hannah. I'm so sorry you had to endure this. I hope you have smooth sailing from now on.

Best Wishes to you always and I'm sorry you had this setback- Be strong- you are beautiful!

I've been working in a hospital for a year now and this video made me shiver. You're so strong and brave

We all wish you a fast and smooth recovery :) And no negative adhesion thoughts!!

Sending you so much love my dear. I can't begin to imagine what this whole process has been like for you

I'm so sorry you had to go through this again. I'm trying to imagine what it would be like and my imagination failed. I had two major surgeries only a few months apart years ago, and though they were elective and not nearly as invasive as yours, they were still very stressful and physically and emotionally draining. Your videos about your experiences are brave and useful to many, and I hope they're cathartic for you.
