Discussing Colostomy Reversal and Pre-Surgery Dental Work

Had a meeting with a surgeon for my colostomy reversal. He said he would do a colonoscopy on me to inspect my insides and make sure all is healed, and then he said the day after the procedure I'd have the reversal operation. He said I'd be in the hospital for about a week, more or less.

I told him I wanted to get some intensive dental work done first before the surgery (I also have Polycythemia Vera, and after decades, it makes your teeth brittle and break off), so I need an upper plate and broken uppers removed.

It's going to be a wild 2025 for me.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your chompers and your reversal!

Good luck for the rest of 2025, sending you good vibes and hope all goes well for you. Come back after and let us know how things went. Don't forget to keep all the teeth they take out for the tooth fairy. Regards IGGIE

Good luck and speedy recovery.

Sounds like a wild ride. Good luck!

Tooth fairies visit kids of all ages - I know - because she has been when I had my implants done!!!

Wishing you a healthy, happy, successful reversal.

Be sure to provide updates. Very helpful for everyone here.

Wishing you the best for 2025, get your insides squared away and your smile.

I hope you get all you wish for.

Congrats on getting a reversal. Hope the dental work isn't too rough.

Wishing you the best outcome and speedy recovery 🙏🏻

Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.  My colostomy reversal was exactly 1 year ago today!  :)

And Dexie, I guess you have no reservations - Yours went well - All good?
