in a few months, ill be going in for a colostomy reversal.  Will it be as bad as the initial colostomy surgery? Will i be able to poop normal again after surgery? What potential roadblocks will i face after a reversal? Will it ever be normal?

 

Thanks,

Andy

From my experience. No it wont be as bad as the original sugery. Yes you will be able to poop normal again different length of time for individuals. As for roadblocks dont do too much too soon alot of rest to let your body heal. And yes you will be normal again, It will take time though. I had reversal 15 months ago, and only now is my mid section starting to feel really strong,

I am not a candidate  but several on here  have had very successful  reversals. I hope they will jump in to answer your questions.
