It has been a while since I have posted. I am to have surgery in Madison, WI on Jan 25, 2023, for hopefully a reversal of my colostomy and a parastomal hernia and 3 other hernias. Has anyone had this done and how was the pain after, and how long were you in the hospital and how long was the recovery? I am 83 now, and it is scaring me because of my age. There are two surgeons going to do the surgery, one a hernia specialist and the other a colorectal surgeon.
