Reply to "Pouch/anal training... How???"

Hi. I am waiting for my ileostomy reversal in about 5-7 weeks. But I am having the same issue when I stand up. It can be 5 minutes after using the toilet or emptying my bag. It doesn't matter how long I've been sitting, I get a discharge everytime I stand. I try to "hold it" and get to the restroom but so far only once has that worked. Surgeon says it's " overflow" and has set me for a flex sig on 24th to check how it's doing. My question is after takedown do I need to be prepared for same thing? I've been using feminine pads but skin gets chaffed and raw. So I just keep changing clothes 4-6 times a day. Any advice while I wait for flex sig?
