I am 8 months on from surgery. As I have Crohns a J pouch isnt an option for me. I'd like to have a reversal at some point. But frankly with the parastomal hernia surgery on the 7th of Sept and the inability to take immunosuppresants before that..it will be a long while before I look at a reversal.
I am of two minds for a reversal. I have heard from several people that the reversal was much worse than the original surgery. And the thought of going thru that again is a bit of a scary thing!!! Also, I'm afraid my employer just wouldnt tolerate any time off from me. As it is, I booked 'holiday time' for my hernia surgery recovery. ( I'll PRETEND I'm in Tahiti!!!)
Also, the thought of toilet visiting 25+ times a day/night doesnt thrill me in the least!!!!!
Perhaps I am just a wimp.
