This topic is about someone who recently had a challenging medical experience. After undergoing a hysterectomy, there was an accidental injury to her jejunum, leading to sepsis. As a result, her sigmoid colon and part of her jejunum were removed, and she now has an ostomy. She is advised to wait at least six months before considering a reversal surgery and is seeking advice from others who have been through a similar situation.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people find that online communities are a great source of information and support while waiting for reversal surgery.

2. One person shared their own experience: after a severe infection and colon rupture, they had a significant portion of their colon removed and a colostomy created. Three months later, they successfully underwent reversal surgery, and their bowel function returned to normal quickly. However, they faced some challenges:
- The reversal surgery can go well, and bowel function can return to normal even after a significant portion of the colon is removed.
- There is a risk of hospital-acquired infections, such as MRSA, so it's important to follow strict infection-control measures and seek prompt treatment if needed.
- Recovery might require extended physical therapy, especially if there are other health issues.

3. Overall, there is encouragement that although the situation is tough, the most difficult part, which was the initial emergency surgery and dealing with sepsis, is over. With enough healing time, a reversal is possible.
