I am looking for information about recovery time after reversal and issues to expect. I had my ileostomy in Feb '07 and was reluctant to go through another surgery (reversal) right away. I had planned to have the reversal done in mid '08 but was involved in a major car accident which has taken quite some time to fully recover from. I have 2 more operations to go but wanted to fit a reversal in if time permits. I'm in generally good health, mid 80's on 18! and, like I said, would like to have a reversal. I would appreciate any information from fellow ostomates.
Thank you....Bagavond
