By reversal you mean a takedown from an Ostomy to a Jpouch? I did that and really am so glad that I did it. I like my life a lot better without the ostomy only because I had never bonded with dealing with the ostomy and always wanted to get Jpouch surgery.
For me the change was easy, because I went in really wanting it and was ready to tackle any problems that came with the Jpouch.
Butt burn is a thing that is really painful and it took a year to get under control.
Not sure what you are looking for, you can reply and I will be glad to help

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!
