I must be one of the lucky ones , I had my surgery June 30, Home from Hospital 3 days later no complications. Back at work 14 days later . I was scared going into the reversal surgery, With all the bad experiences posted on this site. My thoughts are if you have the option to have reversale surgery you should go for it . Best thing I have done!

Now if I can go 6 months for follow up test with positive results . I will be a real CANCER SURVIOR .

Good luck to all who have Ostomy!!!!!

I also was a reversal success. Almost three years later, I can truly say it was one of the best decisions of my life. The experience of a colostomy changed my whole outlook on life. I feel joy in every moment of my existence. Yes, osties, I felt it when I had the colostomy because it allowed me to continue life. I am a more compassionate person because of both experiences.

hi Tomdog

Thank you for that it is so good to hear your good news after reading the negative implications and it gives me faith somewhat-I only hopethat after  my colonoscopy and venal consultation they will agree to reverse my ileostomy for the second time-I am keeping my fingers tightly crossed for me and your continued health. Best wishes.
