Ileostomy reversal

I had a reversal done 7 years ago and regret it.  I use an irrigation system daily.  I spent from 1hr to 7hrs in bathroom.  I have no bowel control at all.  Would like my ileostomy back but can't get it.  Any thoughts that would help?  Thankyou

  • Welcome to the forum Ask although I'm sorry for the reason you are posting.

    Hopefully other members who have had an ileostomy reversal - such as [@VirgilA]‍ - will offer their thoughts and advice soon but in the meantime I just wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number in case you wanted to chat with them about this. Their telephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    All the best,
