A member asked:
How long do you have to wait for loop illiostomy reversal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This would depend on why that surgery was needed, overall health condition, medications such as Prednisone (steroids), etc. May be 3-6 months but entirely dependent on above conditions & evidence that everything is fully healed & recovered internally (such as intestinal pouch integrity, etc).
