Hi everyone,

I've had my illeostomy for 7years and my gastro has recommended that I think about reversal for certain reasons. I was wondering if anyone has done a reversal and pregnancy after? I have one baby and we are hoping to have another 2 so I'm trying to decide whether to have the reversal before we try again or wait until after another 2 which would be Min. 5years.

How long after reversal was pregnancy feasible? I know everyone is different though :)

If anyone has any advice from experience I'd be very happy to read!

Thabkyou!

Be careful with a reversal. I had one and for two years it was incontience, "clustering" which is going every 5-10 minutes producing 1 inch "bullet stools that would last 3-4 hours . These things would leave me with a very sore itching bottom. I finally gave in and ask for a bag back. 4 weeks ago I had a permanent colostomy placed. I'm a stage 4 colon cancer patient. Good luck and I wish you the best!
