I had a colostomy 3 years ago. I went in for a reversal the following year but things went wrong. The Dr. said it was like a bag of pus that exploded in me also they nicked a small vein and I lost much blood. At the same time, I had part of my rectum removed. (I knew this was going to take place) I would still like to go for the reversal but my Dr. said I would have the urge to go to the bathroom and I better get there fast.
I know people who have had the reversal and they say they haven't experienced this. I was wondering if it is because I only have a stump for a rectum?
Thank you, Joyce
