I need some input on what I may expect in regards to recovery time
for some surgeries that I have to undergo. My current ileo needs a
"revision" and the rectal stump that I still have has to be removed as
it still has severe inflammation. There is also a severe hernia to deal
with. I am told that this may require two separate procedures. I'm
nervous, and more scared about this than any other procedure I have had
in the past. Can I get some input? Thanks. ;-Deano

It would be extremely hard for anybody to tell you what you need as each
procedure and how a person takes it is different. With that statement, no
surgery is easy. However, I can understand your anxiety as I have the
same problem and am facing removal of my rectal stump for the same
reason. Personally, to me its facing the inability of any type of
reversal. This feeling is totally psychological and with that, I feel it
can be controlled.

I wish I had more time but I have to leave for work. I hope everything
comes out <sigh> OK.
