I am 12 months post-colostomy and soon seeking a reversal. Has anyone had trouble with insurance covering the reversal? Thanks!

ze1dude, hello. I had the reversal done in March of 2011. Two weeks ago, I had a temporary ileostomy made due to a fistula. I am waiting for the fistula to heal so I can have the drop down again. I guess what I am trying to say is that I have had the stoma, drop down, stoma, and will have another dropdown when I am fistula healed... (At least that's my plan. I have had no problems with insurance coverage for any of my surgeries.) It's a long journey we are on, and sometimes the road is all uphill, but it does get better, and I wish you much success with your reversal. While it's not perfect, it's so nice to not worry about a bag and leakage and smell and... well, you know. Take care and best of luck. Jody

My husband's ostomy nurse recommended the site two years ago. The help and recommendations they have given us is invaluable.

I too am in need of a reversal. I have taken all tests besides the final pre-op tests they require to start surgery, and I'm good to go, besides the fact I don't have medical insurance or $27,000.

Thank you for the info, I will have reversal surgery next month as well... at least that's the plan.
