Had tranverse stoma installed in Feb. 11 2011. Getting scoped on May 3rd, return to see surgeon on May 10th. If healed well he wants to schedule reversal then. Thanks for any input.

I had an iliostomy put in..they said "temporary" as the nurse at home seemed dubious. I did in fact have the reversal done 3 months later.

As long as your not having any infections, I think its okay to do a 3month reversal.
I've had so many infections and still am battling some. I've had 3 failed jpouchs and 13 surgeries later am still dealing with infection in my rectal/pelvic area. Trust me don't rush them. I've had the first 10 pretty much 3month to 4months inbetween and it was too soon and my body couldn't heal.

I actually had my first reversal a number of years ago after 9 weeks and it went great. I was healed, doing well, gaining weight, my blood work was back to normal, I felt 100% better. Granted, I have an ilesotomy now but I was fine for a number of years.
Good luck to you!
