3 Things Nobody Warns You About Before J-Pouch Takedown
What happens between J-pouch formation surgery and takedown? If you're currently living with a loop ileostomy and waiting for your takedown operation, there are a few things that nobody warned me about before I went through it myself. In this video, I share three experiences from my own journey after J-pouch formation surgery and before my ileostomy reversal. These included passing mucus from the rectal stump, preparing my body for takedown with simple muscle exercises, and dealing with the mental challenge of waiting for the next stage of surgery.
