This past March 2023 I had my reversal and was pretty scared after reading a lot of posts and the horror stories. I'm a 57-year-old male who had an ostomy first on my large intestine and then on my small due to a collapse of my colon and went through three operations. My reversal was the easiest of them all. After the reversal operation, I was able to walk to my hospital bed without help. I had to use the bathroom a lot for about three days and then I completely was back to normal. My bowel system works better than it ever did. It's now been six months and everything is outstanding. I wanted to share this because all of the bad stories I have read. I think people share the negative results and people like myself that had success don't share their results.
