Hi All,



I struggled with bowel obstruction for about 10 years and after plenty of operations to remove obstructions I ended up with an Ileostomy.  Is there anyone here that has had a similar thing happen to them and what are the chances of reversal?

Hi there, i also have an ileostomy but for different reasons. I have been told that i will be able to get mine reveresed but it is different for everyone. Its a question that only your consultant/surgeon will be able to answer x

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Hi SA,



Just words of encouragement - My cousin has had an obstruction 3 times and all of his were reversed, his last one about 4 years ago. But Sophie96 is right, that is something your surgeon must answer.
