Hi all I am from Widnes Cheshire and had my op at Warringtom Hospital I had my first part of the J Pouch surgery 3 weeks ago, I though my procedure was only going to take 2 stages but when my stoma nurse came to visit me at home afterwards she advised it would be 3 stages.
I was cut length ways from just below my breast bone right through the belly button down to my lower abdomen, had 52 staples I was in hospital 5 nights had the drain and catheter removed day 3.
How long is the recovery period after the first stage I am still uncomfortable walking long periods and bending over.is this normal?
I am getting pain in my left rib a sharp stabbing pain and also in my lower abdomen and underneath.
Have others had the 3 stage surgery if so what was there recovery time and also how long between each stage?
Reading others they talk about take down what is this?
Any help greatly appreciated as feeling abit overwhelmed and down with it all
