Haven't been here in a while! So far, so good on reversal. Still have extreme poops. How is everyone?

Congratulations on your reversal, keep checking in. I am still trying to decide if I want to go through with it. The side effects seem extreme versus the minor pain from the stoma to me, but I would like to hear more.

Hello RenfromTexas,

As someone getting the surgery in a few days, I must ask—what is an "Extreme Poop"?

Cheers!

Ren, remind me what type of reversal you had when you get a chance?

Ren - thanks for the update - those of us who are fortunate enough to have the choice of reversal, but so far have opted out, appreciate your return to this site with updates. Thanks, jb

Congratulations on the successful reversal. Hope your bowel movements calm down in the near future.. I will keep you in my prayers for continued healing. My mom has decided not to reverse her colostomy that she got last August. She's doing well though.

Congratulations! I'm at 8 months past reversal. My new routine is every morning a major poop. I'm not sure why, but I'm okay with it. Still losing weight (not sure why). But happy that I had everyone here to help me through it. Have a good weekend! John
