Howdy mainstreet...Hate to think it or say it But it's possible they thought at the time reversal was or might be possible but due to following medical conditions etc it may not be possible now.
If these docs are gooooddddd in this field you may only find a hack willing to do it and likely with the possibility of ending up worse off then now....
Certainly keep visiting doctors but the right ones...

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll discuss irrigation with my doctor. I'm sure it would be down the road. My output is still very liquid. It's all so unpredictable at 6 weeks post-op. I have such a fear of constipation as I struggled with this forever. I used a fiber source to thicken the stool but it hasn't helped very much. I guess I will continue to be positive but it is a bit of a pain. This website is great and everyone is so informative. Cheryl

Hope you can find the right Dr. you may have to look a little farther away from where you live. Just be sure to check them out. Best wishes

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

Yeah I see Dr. Virgilio George at MUSC in Charleston and would highly recommend him if it's not too far for you.
