Reply to "FtM (trans guy) seeking experiences with hysterectomy after life with a pouch for familial polyposis"

Hey there,

I’ve had a pouch for 20 years and 2 years ago I had a radical hysterectomy because I had ovarian cancer. My surgery was done robotically with the da Vinci robot. My colorectal surgeon was on standby just in case, but it all went well. For some reason my pouch is much, much happier since I had the hysterectomy. 

After the hysterectomy they want you up and walking as soon as possible. If anything, after surgery, the drugs to put you to sleep and the painkillers make you constipated. Definitely no pooping in the bed. 

Our situations are different. I’m tiny. I had colitis, not FAP, etc etc. But feel free to ask me anything.
