AGB1 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Tell her not to worry. Had mine reversed 12 years ago without a single problem since. There's nothing like having to sit on a toilet again! Very common operation and she'll be in the best hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethsmummy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 My baby girl Ellie had a bowel perf at two week and obviously the first operation was touch and go. She was so poorly and swollen. Stupidly I expected her to be really poorly when she had the reversal six months later, but it was wonderful. Op only took about 90 mins. They only make a small incision (nowhere near as big as when she first. Perforated) She came back looking brill. Did her first poo about 24 hours Later and had her first bottle a few mins later. Never looked back. (Apart from a sore bottom from time to time) but nowhere near as sore as the stoma site got on occasions. Send her my wishes and tell her its not as bad as last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
