Hi all
With so many people having their stomas revisited to reverse it, lots of questions need to be asked and I thought it would be a could idea to prepare a list of common questions that you might want to ask, but I'm not going to stop at the questions I intend to fill in the answers in part 2 of this post. Before I start filling in the answers can you think of any other questions that you would like an answer to and I can include them in the list and make a very comprehensive fact sheet for all in the future.
If you've been reversed and have a question you wish you had asked or if you are waiting to be reversed and you have a question that you would like answered this is your chance to add to the list of questions and get the answers.
Will you join in, please.
