Try and rest and get a lot of good nutrition now so that you will be in as good a condition as possible for the take down operation. ...it is usually a much 'easier' surgery and also recovery than the previous operation. Best Wishes.

thanks Jan. I just hope I am not crapping my pants from this mucousectomy. I am still having mucous leakage issues
I am having my jpouch surgery this Thursday. I did the colectomy in July 2015. My Surgeon does it in three steps. So I will still have ileostomy until 3rd surgery. What should recovery be like and has anyone else done it in 3 steps?
I have my takedown surgery thurs 2/25 as well. I have the second of a two part . I am nervous about this next step as well... good luck to you!
Good luck to you all. my experience was take down part was a breeze compared to colon removal part - but everyone is different. It takes patience, etc. to get used to pouch - but I sure was glad to get rid of the bag at that time - I was 23 - am now 53. You guys can do this!! Cheering you on!
