Reply to "Jpouch recovery"

More information would be greatly appreciated, what kind of surgery did you have? Open, laproscopic? 2 stage, 3? How healthy were you before surgery etc.

Recovery changes drastically between us all, some are much faster, others much longer. I was in a relatively good position before surgery health wise. My recovery from my 2 stage, open surgery went well. First surgery was Feb 6, reversal was mid May, I started back in construction on the second week in July. I saw my surgeon before I started back to work, just a regular check up to make sure everything was healed. They gave me the go ahead to start work so I did the next day, lightly for the first while. Otherwise it didn't take me long to get used to the pouch, certainly takes time getting use to the feeling of the pouch and feeling comfortable with holding a BM whilst working.

Good luck and take it easy at first.
