I agree .... that seems too short of a time between surgeries. Maybe if you're healthy it's different but, in my opinion, we've just had the surgery because we're not that healthy! I get not wanting the bag on your belly; however, you want the pouch surgery to have a happy ending with as few issues as possible. I waited six months. It sucked but my doc said it was necessary for my recovery. It is a pretty major surgery that is very taxing on the mind and body. If you're not in the best health you can be, it may prolong a good recovery.
