Upcoming Ostomy Reversal Surgery: Seeking Advice and Support

my reversal surgery is coming up. ive had a ostomy for 16 months. i had to wait a year post op before the insurance kicked in. its painful i had no underlying heath issuses besides a 14 pound tumor removed that had broken through my intestines.i never know how im going to feel day to day. its very difficult and i have told very few people about my ostomy.im located in texas and the surgeon is in san antonio which is a few hours away from padre island. there was a gentelman from houston who had a reversay surgery in houston im looking ofr him and anyone else with any imformation that would be helpful.im staying positive i would of died almost did if i hadn't been given a ostomy.i wsh everone well.

Good luck,

I had my reversal last October and feel better every day.  Having had 4 surgeries in a year and a half, I feel I had much better results when I switched to a colo rectal specialist surgeon.

Last step is for me to get a colonoscopy next month, never had a successful one because of the stricture

hello there would you recommend your surgeon? I am desperately looking for a specialist and one that could deal with a complex case such as mine? who would be willing to attempt a reversal-My first one failed like I said my case is extremely complex so he would have to have expertise in this field. thank you
