Hey, could you message me? I have some questions since it seems we had the same reason to get an ostomy. And I'm debating if I should get a reversal or not.

That's so encouraging, Florida. I'm still waiting for a date as I've now had all the pre-op assessments and have been passed for surgery. How long did it take you to feel ‘in control' of everything after your reversal? I'm going to Italy in early May, and I'm now worried I don't have enough recovery time before I fly out! It's not a holiday… my son's getting married out there, and I really want to be back to ‘normal' and not have to worry about exploding bags on the flight 😰

Hi,
I had an emergency Hartmann's procedure on May 24 and am now on the list for a reversal.
I'm still not 100%, mainly due to all the bad stories I've read about and not many positive ones. Did you have your reversal?
If you did, would you be kind enough to advise how it went?
Thank you.
