It’s Happening! Advice leading up to surgery?

EmilyJTMember

So I have just met with my surgeon. The decision has been made. I am getting a continent ileostomy (K Pouch) and proctectomy (removal of rectum) on Saturday 16 February 2019. We will have to come down to Melbourne a week prior to meet with a number of health professionals, pain specialist, psychiatrist, surgeons, stoma nurse etc. And we will be down here for 6-7 weeks if everything goes smoothly. My head is currently spinning but I believe I'm making the best decision for my quality of life. IT'S HAPPENING! Any advice leading up to the surgery?
