Likewise, all good wishes for your surgery. Mine reconnected in late July and within a week or two better than before the original colostomy. 11 day stay in hospital post surgery but nothing to do with the reconnect. Heavy smoker and got a chest infection! My fault, I know.

Well, after having a colostomy since March the reconnect being
rescheduled twice we are on for Thursday morning. Hope it goes well. Dr
says 5 hr surgery and 5 day stay. Crossing our fingers. Last time was
17 days long stay. I am worried but ready for this. My hub is having
the surgery and am scared about it. Lots of infefctions last time but
good now. Strong and walking 5-7 miles a day. Doing the no fiber diet
today and liquid diet tomorrow and the next day. Antibiotics on
wednesday. Just keep us in your prayers. Thanks and any advice we are
taking it. Carla
