Some of you may remember I was thinking of a j pouch reversal well after lots of thought and consideration I've decided to go ahead with it. Still can't believe I'm going down this route as last year I said I definately wouldn't but time changes everything. My date has arrived in the post and I'm heading in on 31st of jan!! I've a quick question. Obviously ill be getting a loop stoma for few months and then have the surgery to connect everything. I use coloplast bags but because I'm small at 4ft10 I use the smallest bag that most use for sports etc. I was wondering initially would it be better for the first week or so post op to use bigger bags and order up a sample of bigger bags or just stick to the small bags. I'm not sure about the output with loop illeosotomy and how long it takes for things to settle.
