Just left the hospital after my reversal on the 9th. Doesn't hurt as much but have bruise around my stoma area but all in all a success. Went to the bathroom the 3rd day after surgery and had about 8 BM. Then 5 BM and today just had 1 so far. Don't know what to expect, haven't passed gas yet which I heard people usually do after surgery. Guess I'll see how it goes. Thanks to all that have replied to my post. I will keep everyone updated. Nothing but love and good vibes to everyone.
