I am currently waiting to receive a date for surgery to reverse the stoma I have had since surgery in Septmeber 2012. I am very frustrated as I had a phone call 2 weeks ago to tell me I am on the shortlist for surgery. Foolishly I thought this meant it might be soon - I rang today to see if there was news as I fancy a few days away to be told - oh, I haven't put you on the list yet, May is already full so it will be at least June - I feel gutted. I can't wait to be rid of this stoma - it seems to affect everything I do - we have no social life because as soon as I eat or drink it starts to be very noisy!! I know life afterwards won't be perfect but it has to be an improvement on now. I feel as though I can't begin to get on with my life until this is reversed and I feel as though the doctors just don't care - they've dealt with the cancer and I should be grateful instead of saying I wan't rid of the stoma. Has anyione else experienced this, how long have you had to wait for a reversal?
