Just after advice on the best time to have a stoma reversal

[coleman1987uk]

Last Saturday I had surgery for the stoma. I've had 3 sections removed and I'm recovering well they were surprised I was able to leave hospital and go home on the Wednesday. I was wondering a few things;

A. How long is best to wait for a reversal?
B. How many times a day do people need to empty there's when it settles?
C. What are my chances of having surgery again in the future?

Hi Coleman, Welcome to the forum
Sorry to hear about the resections :hug:
I personally have never had a stoma so I don't know the answers to your questions. But from what I do know is that everyone has takedowns at different times, it depends on your healing and whether or not your doctor feels your intestines can function properly once it is reversed. The other questions I am unsure of, but someone will be around to give you better answers I am sure!
