 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  and welcome to our group.

    I notice you asked your question at the end of another thread made by  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.
