I have had a stoma bag for 2 years and I absolutely hate it and am trying to get the surgeon to reverse it has any one had reversal done that could inform me of problem I could incur
You ask about stoma reversal. Your surgeon is the best person to tell you if this procedure is a possibility for you.
The organisation Bowel Cancer UK have some information on stoma reversal and what to expect which you can view by clicking here. They also have a forum which you can join and hopefully people will come along and share their experiences with having a stoma reversal, as support like this can be invaluable. But it’s important to bear in mind that even if there are other people who have gone through this procedure, everyone’s experience will be unique to them.
The NHS has some further information at this link.
I hope this is of use . Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
