I had my takedown on Thursday and felt great. However, Friday came and I am in so much pain.my ribs were hurting and the stoma site is painful. My dr ordered a graphite X-ray to make sure no leaks. He was just being precautions. Thankfully, no leak. I have a lot of gas, but haven't past it. When did you first have a bowel movement after takedown. I think this surgery might be more painful than first. He also packed my incision, no staples.
