hey friends.I had my second takedown this past Monday with Dr Remzi at the Cleveland Clinic. On Wednesday night i developed a partial obstruction from the swelling from surgery. I was able to eat again on friday and came home saturday afternoon. My butt was raw from toilet paper and changed to portable bidet yesterday and getting better. My gas pains have been pretty painful though. I haven't been on pain meds since wednesday night. Overall I am feeling pretty good. I go to bathroom every 3 hours and thats mostly due to needing to get rid of the gas and not having to have bowel movement. i know it will get better over time.

Welcome home, James!
Great News! Prayers for a speedy recovery!
Glad to hear, I came home from my second take down yesterday and so far I am doing great, so good I am even concern as to why things are going so well, for the last three years I have not had it this good so now I am not sure how to act. Please share your progress as you go since it is helpful (at least to me). Thanks
I find that I can pass gas lying down on my side and being careful but being near a bathroom is a wise precaution.
Left and right sides are different.
I'm so happy for you. You were worried about getting reconnected. It will get better. 5 months out from my second takedown and doing good, knock wood
feeling decent except now dealing with a painful hemorrhoid
As a former horrible hemmroids sufferer, actually since j pouch I no longer suffer, my advice is to push it back up. It will heal faster.
