I am almost a month post takedown. I just came out of the hospital yesterday from a partial obstruction. I'm having cramping still but not nearly as painful as before. I feel like I have a lot of gas inside my stomach and it feels like little balls rolling around in there. Is this cramping normal after takedown? I had an ostomy for a year so I know it'll take my pouch awhile to get into the swing of things.

I havent had my takedown yet but I just wanted to say I hope you feel better soon. I am sure someone will be along shortly with some support. I am sure your thrilled to be home! Good Luck!!
I had gas cramping for a few weeks after takedown. It was more bothersome than painful. Being that you were just released from the hospital for an obstruction I would say this is normal. As long as you aren't in any large amount of pain. If that happens, then you should call your doc. Feel better soon.
