Hi. I’m having my ileostomy stoma reversed tomorrow, nervous about the surgery, even though I know it won’t be as long as my surgery last year, and also nervous about what my bowels will be like afterwards.
Hi Twirly
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although haven't had this surgery, I just wanted to suggest that you also post this question in the ileostomy, colostomy and stoma group where I can see you've posted before. You'll then connect directly with others who have had this procedure.
Wishing you all the best for tomorrow.
