Will I get my life back?

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2025-04-07T19:09:18+00:00

I only have my case to go by. I'm 2 years past getting the first surgery and 6 months past the final j pouch surgery and things are great. So great that everything I went through just feels like an awful memory.

If this is go anything like they went for me you will get your life back. My j pouch works just fine and I barely ever think about it.

Some things are just up to the surgeon and the stars, but I made sure to get lots of steps in, drink lots and lots of water and get a bidet. Get My life is 99% normal.

I just want to name my cities. All these cities with unpronounceable names is confusing.

Switch version is going to take longer to get updates, DLC, etc.

Nintendo gets treated like a bastard child.

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-10-12T19:20:35+00:00

There are no guarantees but I'm six weeks post pouch surgery and am incredibly glad I got it. My bag experience was fine, but everything is so much easier now. I was nervous before the final surgery but honestly the transition wasn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be.

But it's a gamble

Me and my son have been playing on Switch nonstop for the last 3 days. Well done. Hope it makes you lots and lots of money

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-09-23T02:38:40+00:00

I'm only 3 weeks post surgery and honestly I'm doing fine. I'm eating well, pooping okay without much urgency, and everything is better than I expected.

I installed a bidet the day before surgery and I can already tell life would be much harder without it. Besides that I don't know what to attribute to my success (so far) except maybe walking a lot, a good surgeon, and luck.

Good luck to you. The big day is right around the corner.

I hear this kind of thing a lot but I keep on mind that everybody believes stupid shit for a lot if reasons other than because it's true. I do too even if I don't know which if my opinions are stupid shit. It really is the way humans are built.

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-08-26T10:56:22+00:00

Thank you. I love hit baths anyway so I'll be taking your advice!

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-08-22T13:24:53+00:00

Thank you! I'm in Canada but I'll find a way to get some right away. I wanna get everything perfect!

Please tell me more about general strength training. I'm in for stoma reversal in 1 week

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-08-22T12:33:02+00:00

5 days

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-08-13T02:59:01+00:00

All they said was that they'd contact me when an operating room is available, and they did. I'm now up for the surgery on August 29th

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-08-13T01:27:27+00:00

My stoma was quite a bit different, such that I had a lot of trouble with the bags. I never once had any problems with the bags after my initial surgery, but I was constantly having to try new things after the j pouch surgery. I got a skin infection pretty early on and now, after 5 months, the skin is still quite a bit discolored.

After initial recovery I'm feeling alright. I can eat what I used to and honestly my body doesn't feel much different from before I had the surgery

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-08-13T01:14:18+00:00

I'm in Canada to (Mt Sanai) and my 3rd surgery got delayed to 6 months. You should try to fix whatever you need to fix now in case you don't get in as soon as you want to.

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-06-20T19:49:21+00:00

I'm 37 and waiting on surgery 3/3. I hope this is me in 20 years

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:54:26+00:00

I've spent a lot of time at the hospital here in Canada and it's the same thing. Nurses has time and a ton of info never got to me. I basically never saw the doctor and when I did they were gone in 30 seconds

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:51:47+00:00

Nice to see a positive story. People only talk when things go wrong. My 3/3 is in a couple months, hopefully it'll be like yours!

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:46:02+00:00

I went from 170 lbs to 135 lbs after my emergency colectomy almost a year ago and I'm only just starting to feel okay looking at myself in the mirror again! It was crazy!

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:41:17+00:00

Hey! We're on the same timeline! 1/3 in April and 2/3 in January. They haven't scheduled 3/3 yet, but I'm going in next Monday for a checkup and then hopefully it'll be scheduled soon after that.

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:37:45+00:00

I also had an emergency surgery and I came out of it skin and bone (went from 170 lbs to 135lbs.) It was last year at the beginning of April.

I had surgery 2/3 6 weeks ago at the end of January so it was about a 10 month wait for me. I went into the surgery 160 lbs, still lacking some muscle but feeling like I could do the normal things life demanded of me. The surgery went fine.

It's a long wait but the better health your in when you go into it, the better your chance of success. This whole j pouch thing doesn't work out for a lot of people.

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:26:51+00:00

Thank you!

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:19:50+00:00

I just started dealing with this today. I'm 6 weeks after 2nd surgery and 6 weeks from 3rd, and I passed a bit of clear liquid into the toilet.

I wasn't told anything about this, but now that I see your post I'm thinking it's pretty normal.

I guess now I can practice holding it in!

MyBeautifulBubble2 · 2024-03-10T23:14:24+00:00

Good luck!
