Hi, I had a colostomy for 5 years after an episode with c. Sorry, still can't write the word. I developed a parastomal hernia last year which grew to a good size and caused all sorts of problems. So I had a reversal 3 months ago, the operation went well but 4 days after being discharged I developed a rectovaginal fistula. This is the most awful thing and I'm now regretting the reversal. I'm due to have this repaired soon. Has anyone else had dealings with these things? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙂
