Hi CheryleHow come you are having a reversal after only 2 years?? I have had my ileostomy for 13 years after very pain fistulas from crohns disease, and never told I would need a reversal.Trish

Maybe a 2nd opinion would be appropriate. I was advised wait five yes and glad I did . I had problems at just over 5 and had I had the J-pouch there would have been risk of much more complication. I don't know ware you are but one of the best surgions is in the Ft. Worth area. Burleson.
