Maximus-
Congratulations on making such a great decision to get back your quality of life. I had my jpouch removed in March of this year and what an amazing improvement on my overall well being it has been.
So for the next few weeks- might I recommend that you eat as healthy as possible, exercise, and sleep lots. You want to go into this surgery in the best condition you can possibly be. Also have fun for two weeks. Recovery might be long but keep in mind.. once recovered... you are done done done. You can get on with your life.
For me - I made sure my house was in tiptop clean condition before I left and had easy GI foods stocked. Brought an eye mask to the hospital, my nook, and ipod. The ipod and eyemask really helped me get through the long nights.
Again- congrats on your brave and awesome decision.
best wishes.
liz.
