It has been a year and a half since my emergency Hartman Procedure colostomy for diverticulitis and sepsis. I couldn't get it reversed soon after because I had to have a brain surgery . I would like to do the reversal, but I heard that it is quite complex and could be dangerous. I am trying to find former ostomates that fared well with this type of reversal. Thank you for your help
