Glad to hear that you are home and healing from the reversal. Mine was just a year ago. Yup running to the bathroom for hours is typical. Hope it gets better for you. Glad that everything went well. I spent more time in the hospital with the reversal than the initial surgery to remove the tumor. Couldn't go to the bathroom or pass gas so they wouldn't let me go home or give me any food. I didn't eat for 7 days and just wanted to go home, but nope. So I'm glad you are home.

    Thank you
    Wow...then in the way of getting to come home when I did, I will be grateful. I spent 5 days in the hospital. And resting at home is definitely more comfortable! Any tips or advice? Send then my way please. I do have some info from Lori S. But I will appreciate it all.

    Thank's, Gail

    I use Calmoseptine ointment for the butt burn and the sitz bath helps as well. Have immodium on hand too. Hope things go well for you.
