Hello,
I am going on six months with an ileostomy; it is supposed to be reversed. Because of a leak at my last scope, it is not going to get done in six months like most people. Has anyone had a reversal later than six months?
Thank you

A friend of mine just had his ileostomy reversed after about 13 months. I spoke to him on the phone a few days ago, and he said all was good.

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.

Hi stew
I think the real issue is what you are reversing from, what has been removed, etc.
