Experiences with Ileostomy Reversal Surgery?

Topic Explanation:
Shirley is seeking experiences with ileostomy reversal surgery after having an ileostomy surgery due to Crohn's disease.

Advice and Insights:
- Reversals don't always work, and some individuals end up needing to keep the bag permanently.
- Some people have experienced complications such as scar tissue causing colon obstruction and blood clots after reversal surgery.
- Radiation damage and other issues can lead to ongoing bowel problems even after reversal.
- It's important not to let others influence the decision about reversal surgery, as individual experiences can vary widely.
- The underlying cause of the ostomy, such as chronic disease or cancer, can impact the likelihood of a successful reversal.
