Colostomy reversal: What can I expect? Recovery time?

Posted by barbwith3cats @barbwith3cats, Apr 28, 2024

In a few month, I’ll be having a colostomy reversal. By the time the surgery rolls around, I will have had the Ostomy for 6 months. What can I expect ? Will the recovery be another 12 weeks?

Good questions as you prepare for a colostomy reversal, @barbwith3cats. I'm tagging a few members like @cgrogers @mary6787 @rhs @timt293 @blinken @jvitanza1 who have had a reversal and can share more about their experience. For example, tips and what they wished they had known. What is recovery like?
