The topic is about someone who is preparing for an ileostomy reversal and is feeling quite anxious about the upcoming procedure. They are seeking advice and personal stories from others who have been through the same experience, as they haven't found much information in the forum archives.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. If you truly want the reversal, go for it. This decision is very personal, and once you've made it, try not to second-guess yourself. Looking back often doesn't help.

2. Someone else who is also scheduled for a reversal on the same day suggests considering prescribed psychiatric or anti-anxiety medication to help with pre-surgery nerves. While it can be helpful, it's not a complete solution.

3. Good luck wishes were shared, along with a reminder to carefully follow the pre-operative bowel preparation instructions. This advice comes from someone having their reversal at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City.
