Reversal recovery problems

I had my ileostomy reversal op 15weeks ago. My wound has still not healed. It becomes infected regularly with pus needed cleaned out each morning. Twice I’ve had internal stitches repelled out. Has this happened to anyone else? Just want to be fully healed to get back to work

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Ems although I'm sorry about the problems you've been having since your reversal op.

    There have been a few discussions about life after this procedure one of which I'm going to include just in case you want to join in or get in touch with anyone there. [@MrsMill]‍ joined the forum a few days ago and has also had a reversal done so hopefully she'll pop by to offer her support and advice now I've tagged her in this post.

    I do hope things start to get better soon but if you're worried at any point you're more than welcome to give our cancer nurses a call. You can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    All the best,
