This topic is about the experiences and challenges people face after having an ostomy reversal, particularly focusing on bowel issues that can arise post-surgery. Here are some insights and advice shared by others who have been through similar situations:

1. Many people congratulate those who have undergone a reversal and encourage them to keep sharing their experiences. This information is valuable for others who are considering whether or not to have the procedure.

2. Some individuals find that the potential side effects of a reversal are more daunting than the minor inconveniences of living with a stoma. This perspective helps explain why some people choose to delay or avoid reversal surgery.

3. There is curiosity about what "extreme poops" means and which type of reversal was performed. These details are important for those evaluating their own options and outcomes.

4. One person, who is eight months post-reversal, shares their experience:
- They have one large bowel movement each morning.
- They are losing weight without understanding why.
- Despite these challenges, they are happy with their decision to have the reversal and appreciate the support from the forum.

5. Another story shared is about a mother who chose not to reverse her colostomy, which was done the previous August. She is doing well, highlighting that living permanently with an ostomy can also be a positive and stable choice.
