Date for Hartman Reversal

This topic is about someone who is preparing for a Hartmann’s Procedure reversal, which is a surgery to reconnect the colon after having a colostomy. The person had their surgery date set for July 7 after experiencing several cancellations. They are grateful for the life-saving colostomy but have found managing the stoma challenging. They are hopeful for a successful surgery and are curious about others' experiences with stoma reversals.

Here are some supportive insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people have offered words of encouragement, wishing for a smooth surgery and recovery. They are interested in hearing updates on how everything goes.

2. One person shared their own experience, mentioning they are three months post-reversal. They had their colostomy due to perforated diverticulitis in the sigmoid colon on November 30, 2022, and the reversal was done on March 30, 2023. This recent experience might provide some reassurance that successful reversals are possible.
