Thank you for your comments! I am having my ileostomy take down on the 15th of this month which is a little over 2 weeks away. I'm wondering is there anything I can do prior to the surgery take down to help prepare my body, rectum, etc for this? I have read a lot of the comments here on the forum but I do not find a thread with ideas or helps pre-surgery. Maybe there are not any and we just need to take the cards as they fall so to speak, however if there is something I could be doing I sure would like to know about it. Lord knows my Dr isn't telling me anything.
Second questions- I developed post surgery when I got my ostomy a rather large hernia under my stoma. It is the size of a football. My dr will be repairing my hernia at the time of my bag takedown surgery as well. Has anyone had this happen to them, and if so how was your recovery? Any pre or post surgery tips on dealing with the hernia portion of the surgery?
Thank you and god bless each and every one of us!
