It might be better not to make plans on recovery timeline beforehand, in order to avoid disappointment or the risk of exerting himself too early. I am currently 9 months post reversal, although I exercise everyday, I am no athlete. I believe he should not be put in a social context that would put peer pressure on him to perform athletically, such as team training or a game, before one year. The j-pouch surgery is a major abdominal surgery.
