This topic is about a young woman who recently had a colostomy reversal after dealing with severe endometriosis and surgical complications. She is in the early stages of recovery and is looking for support and connection with others who have gone through similar experiences. Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by the community:

1. The community is open and welcoming to everyone, whether you currently have a stoma or have had a reversal. Feel free to stay, share your experiences, and seek support.

2. Don’t hesitate to express your feelings and thoughts. People of all ages and situations are here to listen, offer virtual hugs, and provide companionship.

3. Check out the social and humor sections of the forum. They can be great places to connect with others, share a laugh, and ease any anxiety you might be feeling.

4. Your experience with a reversal can be incredibly valuable to others who are considering or have gone through the same process. Sharing your journey can help and inspire others.

5. For those dealing with specific challenges, like an inverted stoma or hernia, one member recommends using a Convatec bag that seals on the outer rim, which can be helpful when the skin near the stoma is difficult to manage.
