Reply to "Pouch operation"

Hello,

I certainly can relate to your situation. I had complications (fistula requiring life saving emergency surgery), and poor pouch function for the first 6 months of its existence. I spent a total of 40 days in the hospital in 2021. The feeling of helplessness and the tears I shed were overwhelming at the time.

I will tell you what others told me at the time. It is very early in the process and your story is not yet written.

Our bodies have an incredible capacity for healing. Mine did and so will yours. You just have to give it time (btw, I hated hearing that comment).

You will get thru this!
