delay in second surgery

Topics

I'm new to the forum.
I had my j-pouch surgery a year ago now last August 2011.
I haven't had the second surgery because I've had some internal problems with things not healing right inside. Just had my 3rd x-ray today and it reveals that I'm still not healed inside. Can't really describe what is going on. Some kind of sinus that needs to close up, but you can see it in the barium x-rays.
So I've had the bag on for a year and I am ready for this to get done.
Wondering if I should pay a visit to the Cleveland Clinic.
Haven't talked with my surgeon yet, we'll see what he says.
Has anyone else taken so long to recover from the first surgery?

It is wise to wait until everything is healed but, personally, I would feel more comfortable with a second opinion. I had to wait a year after my first surgery. It took that long for me to be strong enough for the second of three.
