I had my rectum removed in June of 2022, with a temporary ileostomy out in place. In Oct of 2022, I had the reversal surgery done and the ileostomy removed. My colon was stretched and attached to my anus. After the surgery was done, it took about 3 1/2 days for the first bowel movement to happen. Then they let me return home. once home it was a pretty rough go for the first two months, having to go many times a day with my butt very sore. After about two months it has started to gradually improve. I am writing this in early July 2023, approx. 8 1/2 months after the reversal surgery. For me things have improved. Some days I still have to go frequently, some days I only have to go a couple of times. The first few weeks after the reversal are very rough, but things will improve over time.

How can you get a tampon unstuck from your rectum?

This depends on how far up your rectum the tampon is. If you can reach in and pull it out, then do that. To make it a bit easier, you could try lubricating your rectum (kitchen oil should work fine, but body or massage oil might be preferable) - just pour the lubricant into your rectum, and hopefully you should be able to pull it out without much trouble. However, if the tampon is so far up your rectum that you cannot easily pull it out, go to your local emergency room and have them remove it for you. Either way, you're likely to have a sore rectum for a few days.
