To find out if you are at risk for bowel dysfunction after ostomy takedown surgery, take this test, hopefully your doctor has reviewed this with you ... Know what you are getting into, your body is not the same, some people would be much happier to live with their ostomy than to suffer from Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS).

Good Luck - hope this helps

P.S. my opinion only ... but I think this is a good test for anybody who has had any ostomy surgery, not just a Low Anterior Resection.
