Has anyone else experienced an ileus after an ostomy reversal? They're not sure if mine is still slowly waking up after my reversal surgery or if the dysmotility spread to my small intestine. I've really been struggling to find my appetite. So much of life is focused around food... for instance, we're supposed to go out with friends Friday night and I'm stressed about eating because I don't feel like it (yes, I know I need to) but I want to be with friends.
