Heading to takedown surgery

I'm currently in the gate to my way to the take down surgery in New York. This is my last take down because if I ever get another stoma it'll be my last :p However I'm hopeful that my jpouch is now repaired and I won't be pain anymore. I'll give it a year and if I don't continously get better, it's time for a stoma. But I hope I don't have to get one. I love pooping

Wishing you the best!

You’ve been through this before but this time you have experience and a better j-pouch. Just remember to be patient with yourself, it takes time to heal.

❤️

Prayers going out for you. God bless and good luck

Crossing my fingers and toes!!!

Good luck!!!

Thinking of you and wishing you all the best!

The barium Enema examination went well. I'm able to empty the whole pouch unlike in April, where I couldn't. I'm so happy.

When do you get to go home?

I just woke up and no idea when I go home. They said 3 days in the hospital

Yes!!!! Here's to a quick and easy recovery and a long, happy jpouch life ahead. I am so happy for you Andrea. It took some time, but you did the right thing.

I think most people are 1-3 days in the hospital after their takedown surgery. Mine was 7 days.

Fantastic news!
