I had to wait 6 months after my emergency colostomy surgery to have the reversal surgery when everything was better and I was healthy. Was supposed to be in the hospital 5 to 7 days. Ended up being 17 days, with a second surgery for a small bowel obstruction that was not successful. Healthy is good, but complications do happen. I hope things go well for you! Good luck!
