Rectum removed guestions

I had my J pouch and rectum removed in Dec 2017. My wound didn't heal so the surgeon opened my bottom up to heal from the inside out. My question is how long can I expect for the wound to close? She said we might have to get a plastic surgeon involved. I don't think I could wait a year for this to close. Any advice sure would be nice. Thanks

Virdent,

Thank you so much for your reply. Thats going to be a long wait. How long did you do the baths to soak the wound? Do you think the soak really helps? I'll do anything to speed this up. How long did you need to use the gauze? If it's awhile I need to find a cheaper way to buy the gauze.

At least I know there is an end in sight. Nice to have someone that knows what I'm talking about.

Halo
