?pouch removal

winter wish

I am doing my calculations for number of sick days I can still take. I am due j-pouch removal and permanent ilesotomy and hoping I will have enough days. How many days have people taken off after this surgery? I work in a physcial job (in a hospital).

I took 8 weeks but really could have gone back in 6 weeks.

I was amazed how fast I healed.

I opted for a BCIR and my j pouch was removed in the same operation. I was up and around just after returning home and could have gone back to work at 5 or 6 weeks (but am retired). Perhaps you could start out part time for a couple of weeks and follow your surgeon’s recommendations about lifting and bending.
