What to bring to the hospital

GudekittyMember

I had a total colectomy last November and am finally healthy enough for part 2...getting a j pouch. I'm 100% used to and know my needs for my ileostomy/stoma.

But as far as recovery in the hospital stay after the jpouch surgery..what are things you wished you brought with you?

Hi,

I am excited for you! It will take some time for your pouch to adjust and function at its best. Be patient. I think you will be very happy with it.

I remember the toilet paper in the hospital being not the best quality. I would take my own TP and some A&D Ointment. Personal wipes for sensitive skin. Also, some xtra long thin sanitary pads, just in case.

All the best to you!
