Ok thanks all, that’s sort of what my gut tells me too (ha). I’ll see how it settles in the next day or two with rest. I guess I should know better and not push it, I’ve just been so happy to be able to do things after so long being incapacitated.
Doug, to answer your question, my pouch ended up twisting in on itself, plus had bowel wrapped around it and another segment pinned underneath, and frozen pelvis from adhesions, but no one could figure it out for a very long time. I’ve had chronic bowel obstructions (over two dozen in two years) as a result. My pouch was great the first 18 years. I had a few threads on here the last two years about my (awful) and long ordeal, I’m so grateful for this group. I LOVE my ileostomy (David you were so right!), and I’m so surprised as I swore I’d never get another. Your perspective changes with extreme suffering, ostomies save lives. I feel so much healthier already and can finally eat real food after nearly a year of liquids and TPN. It’s given me my life back, even this early post op I can feel the difference 😊
