Amount of time between colon removal and jpouch surgery

JoeJoeMember

I've had the surgery to remove my large intestine and my surgeon said it will be 3 months rest and heal time before we go to the next stage of getting the j pouch done. I'm having this all done in three stages: colon removal, jpouch, and then the final and third surgery of having it all hooked up. I'm getting close to the second surgery now and I was wondering if any of you had a three stage jpouch surgery like this and roughly how long was the rest/ healing time between surgeries. I was told that the three stage process like this is the safest and I guess it all depends on the individual as everyone is different. And from a lot of what I have been seeing on you tube, a lot of people say the second surgery is more painful than the first. Thanks
