     They tried the reversal on me in June and it did not works so I had my second ileostomy on July1. I am now 7 months out of surgery and I have started back bleeding from my rectum again. I do not know if it is because I had to ride for 4.5 hours on Sunday then sit for a 1.5 funeral. I have become very weak today and very pale. Has anyone had this recur after 7months from surgery?<

I also tried a reversal that failed miserably last year. After the second op the part they left, which I'm told was next to nothing was still passing stuff from my back passage. Not always blood but it was every time I urinated. I tried to get on with everyday life but got worse and worse so in the end I just had the rest removed. I'd say if you haven't already done so it is worth contacting your surgeon. Not sure if you have the option to try the reversal again (I didn't) as I know this would seriously affect any decision to have more removed. I've had everything taken now and as shit as it is to know I have the bag for life I feel the best I have in years and am finally getting back on with my life. I hope this helps.

I will not ever have the option for the reversal again due to nerve damage in the rectum. I love my bag and the help that it has given me from many discomforts. Thank you for your advice if it continues I will definitely talk to my surgeon.
