Hi, I had a Hartman's reversal after 5 years. 11 days after, I ended up with a rectovaginal fistula. Waiting for an operation to correct it. I wonder if anyone has had experience with one of these and some tips while I'm waiting. Thank you in advance 🥰

You are having a rather rare complication. I suspect you have had a hysterectomy. It is also possible that you have a leak of your Hartmann reversal. Did you have Crohn's disease? Most people have Hartmann procedures for diverticular disease.

Hello and welcome to meet an ostomate. The site charges a fee only for Full Membership, you can still interact with members here via the forums and the public chat room with free membership. The site charges a fee since it has expenses ... as do all websites, people have to spend their time to run and maintain the site, buy bandwith, servers, and other things. I am a life member here, it cost me 56$....about the price of 1 cup of coffee a week for a year. I think that is a very small charge for such a big reward. In my opinion this site is the best ostomy-related web site on the net. I hope you will stick around awhile and see for yourself. I do not own or am I in any manner connected to this site except as a member. regards. mmsh
