I just had another bowel obstruction. This time it was a bit more severe as the bowel was necrotic just above the j-pouch and I lost about 18 inches of small bowel and have another ileostomy.  Also, became septic during surgery and ended up in the ICU intubated for a day (never,ever going back there again!).  If all goes well, I am scheduled for take down 12 weeks post op.  If surgeon gets in there and I am not healthy enough, may have to have another ileostomy for 8 weeks.  My question is:  Does anyone have experience with the adjustment period after this type of takedown?  I remember, after my j-pouch creation (2 step) and subsequent takedown,  it was a long adjustment period.  Thanks.  I really appreciate any feedback.
