I would like to put in a word about non- reversal. I have had my iliostomy five years and am so thankful to have put all my bowel problem behind (pardon thepum) . At first I was frantic to have a reversal but have come to appreciate the ease , painless and trouble-free elimination I now enjoy. So to all you who cannot have a reversal, take heart and enjoy life .

Hi
it is so comforting to know that it is not all doom and gloom, I had my op 3 mth ago, and it is a permanent colostomy.....I some times envy those that have/can have reversals but as days go by actually are more comfortable and at ease with Gods plan for me.
