JD,
Glad it has worked so well for you! So many are really scared of the reversal because of the horror stories and live with an ostomy for life because of fear! Crazy! You are an inspiration to those contemplating the reversal! I will never have that option but would think if I did, I would certainly choose to poop normal again!
Continued good luck in your recovery! Sounds like you are over the hump!

I've had my ileostomy for six months due to toxic megacolon. The doctors deduced that it was due to high stress or an infection, as all the tests showed no other underlying cause, thank God! I'm slated to have the reversal soon and getting a little nervous, but feeling better now after reading your story. I just want to thank you for taking the time to share your experience and I wish you continued good luck!
