Reply to "Pouch operation"

Hi,

I am sorry to hear of your situation. I had a post surgical ileus and infection after surgery, and as well dangerously low potassium levels. I was in the hospital for 8 days. This was back in 1992. I thought it was possible I could die especially as I was throwing up for hours due to the ileus before I got the NG tube for around 24 hours. The theory on my infection was I tore my abdominal staples from vomiting due to the ileus.

In any event I survived that ordeal. It's a serious surgery and complications of this kind are not unusual. Hang in there. I got through it and you will too.
