Take down in a week, what does life after the stoma take down look like?

JpouchinseattleMember

I am so excited to come to then end of the surgery portion of this process. It has been a lot on me mentally and physically. Complications after both surgeries really held me back a lot and traumatized me to say the least. I am at the end of the surgery journey, my last surgery is scheduled for July 1st.

I would like like to gain some knowledge of what to experience after stoma take down. How long will my hospital stay be? What issues might I face, and how long will it take to recover, so I can return to work. It has helped a lot learning from different experiences, and as excited as I am, I am also terrified at my new life. If you can please share and let me know I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you to this group, it has been a great support network for some burning questions that I have had.
