I just had a reversal on October 13th. I struggled with the decision of whether to do it or not after reading all the pros and cons. Thank God I had it done. Not only did I already have lots of scar tissue (original stoma surgery May 21, 2025), but I had a ball of infection. This would have continued to get worse as time went on if not removed.
I have already farted and pooped, YEAH!!!!!
So I am beginning a new healing process and praying all goes well.
I'm on the fence about reversal. It wouldn't be happening for months because I have to lose weight first. You had yours quickly.

I just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a good holiday. I especially would like to thank this website and the folks that run it and keep it going. This site has been a life saver for me and I am so thankful I found it. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and Hanukka and if you don't claim either holiday, I hope you have a nice day. See you all next year!
Congrats, Sandysclub! What incredible good fortune to find the infection! Enjoy your 'traditional' bodily functions! 🚶♀️💨 😉
