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

Jpouchinseattle,        My takedown was pretty uneventful. Pooped the second day, got to go home on the third. You've had some really good advise so far. My advise is to be kind to yourself. It's okay if your healing takes a bit longer than someone elses. It's okay to be nervous, believe me, we all were. Remember we are all different on this journey, so what happened to one doesn't happen to all. My take down was exciting to me. No more bags. I couldn't wait. Those loop or temp. stomas rather suck. To high maintenance. Lol Anyway, remember to take loose comfortable clothes to wear home. Get some panty liners and pad for accidents that may or may not happen. A pad or towels under you on the bed for a bit, until your pouch gets regulated is a good idea also. Mainly be kind and patient with yourself. Good luck, keep us informed.

Aimee
