I waited six months after having my original surgery to have my reversal which had been recommended by my doctor and I totally agree waiting those extra few months was well worth it. had the reversal a year and a half ago and I am doing fine. I am 71 years old. Just listen to the doctor after the reversal and take it easy eating soft easy foods, letting your body digest it until you’re fully healed.

I keep seeing videos of people who cannot stop going to bathroom and other problems. I do not want to trade bag for diapers for the rest of my life. Did you go back to the life you had pre stoma?

I am thinking about having a reversal. I am 3 months out from surgery and I am having trouble with my allergy to adhesive from the bag. I will wait the 6 months before the reversal. What are the pros and cons of the reversal?
