Reply to "J-pouch surgery twice"

LaneyLove,

I really appreciate your response! It is helpful to know that I am not alone in my situation. I am sorry that you are dealing with similar crap (pun intended). Haha

Since I first posted, things have improved, the leakage has stopped. I had oozing from my incision which loosened the edge of the wafer which caused the leakage. I was able to get medi-honey for my incision and that appears to be better as well. Also, I have gotten a few samples from Hollister, but it was not an easy process. I was on the phone 45 minutes when I finally said I would like to speak to a supervisor. It was only then they were magically able to send a few samples.

I am coping with the ileostomy the same way I did the first time. Knowing that it is only temporary gets me through! My current issue is pain, but doctor says it's all part of the healing process. Who know healing could hurt so bad?

I wish you patience and speedy recovery. I hope things get back to normal for you very soon.
