Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to share that I’m currently living with an ileostomy after having a rectal tumor removed. I’m feeling a bit anxious about what things will be like after my reversal. I had an ultra-low anterior resection, and I’d love to hear any thoughts or experiences you might have! Thank you so much! Any advice would mean a lot to me!
Hi lawerence and welcome to our group.
I notice you asked your question at the end of another thread made by jollysailer where he was asking exactly the same thing, and there were some positive replies from others which I presume you’ve seen.
I can’t help out myself as I have a permanent end colostomy so reversal is not something I can ever have, but I’m sure others will be along soon to help you out with their experiences.
