I spent six days in hospital and was walking the same night as my reversal.

Yes it was painfull the hole that was left to heal was very large 6cmx4cm and 4cm deep, it took weeks to heal.

I had no problem going to the toilet after it was and will always be very acidic and of loose consistency.

The first tip I would give is make sure you really want it and need a reversal don't rush into it.

The second is eat well the the food and the time I eat will have dictated my life 

I was super fit when I went for my revrsal and 28 years old.

The photo of the scar on my pictures is taken ten months after my reversal the main long scar is two years old.

Make sure you are ready its not easy.
