My son went back to an ileostomy for 6 months and it did not help his issues. He then had a 2nd pouch built by Dr Remzi (big mistake). 6 months later he still has complications and this 2nd pouch needs to be removed. He is going for permanent ostomy. We are just waiting for a date ( hopefully soon)
I see the original post from davesgirl is old, but it is amazing that he only took Tylenol and an occasional oxy to control the pain after this 13hr surgery.
