Last year in February, I had a temporary stoma. In January this year, my consultant said I can have a reversal and 6 weeks later I had my pre-op. I haven’t heard anything since so I was wondering if anyone knows how long is the waiting list for a reversal? 

Thabk you :)

    I’m waiting to hear from my hospital regarding my stoma reversal it will be a year on the 5 th March since my operation and I’m so keen now to have my reversal but getting impatient as I thought I would have heard by now, unfortunately I’m on the waiting list as this is not an emergency

    Good improvement this week to bowel movement! Shame it kicks off at 6am thus far!  No longer tied to the loo so have been doing a little walking outside to exercise my tummy muscles which the surgeon rearranged at the same time - and a hernia repair! Top man

    Eating pretty well -still tired from broken nights  - but 2.5 weeks post surgery - pretty pleased
