Reply to "Diversion surgery"

duck11Member

I had diversion last November due to my malfunctioning j pouch. Mine is a loop ostomy-I think? that’s generally the norm unless you are having the pouch excised at the same time. I had a pretty big incision-same size as with my original j pouch surgeries, but I had a mother load of adhesions to deal with and my surgeon was looking for causes of my problems so maybe it was more invasive that it otherwise would be. I was in hospital for nearly 2 weeks but I was really in bad shape before my surgery from being chronically sick, and also had 2 ileus while in hospital. I think my surgeon said the min, stay would have been 5 days or so. The made my stoma at the same place as when my j pouch stoma were made. Recovery was pretty long, c,3 months or so.

I hope that helps! It was scary but I’m so glad I did it as I’m much healthier and pain free now.
