Tomorrow Is the Big Day!

This topic is about someone who is about to undergo ileostomy reversal surgery, which is a procedure to reconnect the bowel after having an ileostomy. The person is feeling grateful for the support they've received from their online community and plans to share updates after the surgery.

Here are some key points and advice shared by the community:

1. The surgery has been completed, and the person is feeling good so far. They are currently on a clear liquid diet and have a catheter in place. They haven't had their first bowel movement yet, which is causing some anxiety, but they plan to keep everyone updated on their progress.

2. Many community members have offered words of encouragement and best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery. They emphasize that the community is there to support them throughout the process.

3. It's suggested that the person take time to rest and enjoy some downtime as they recover. They are encouraged to keep the group informed about how they are doing as they heal.
