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.

Great place for newbies to learn, I have helped many folks on here learn to irrigate, plus learned a few tricks myself. Great informative site.

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