This topic is about someone who is preparing for a robotic-assisted surgery to reverse their ostomy, which was initially created in May. They are feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about the procedure and have promised to share their experience with others afterward.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by the community:

1. After the surgery, the person reported that their bowel function had resumed, although it was still a bit slow. This is a common experience as the body adjusts post-surgery.

2. During the procedure, a significant amount of scar tissue was removed, and an appendectomy was performed due to excessive scarring. This can sometimes happen if the surgeon finds it necessary to address additional issues while operating.

3. The individual mentioned feeling sore but was able to go home the day after surgery. They expressed gratitude for the support from their stoma and the ostomy community, which can be a great source of comfort and encouragement.

4. Many community members who have either gone through a similar robotic-assisted takedown or are planning to, shared their encouragement and positive experiences. They wished the person a speedy recovery, highlighting the supportive nature of the community.
