Hi,
I had my reversal surgery on the 9th of February.
since yesterday I’m having a lot of pain (it feels like I have a nice stabbed to my anus and someone were twisting it) after going to toilet. The pain is awful.
any advise how to stop it? I’m considering to stop eating but I’m constantly hangry (due to small portion plus anxiety)
thanks
Hi Martina,
Delighted that you have had your reversal done.
I had mine done on 17th Feb & was experiencing the same problems up to a few days ago.
I had been eating small pieces of chicken & cheese since I got home & found that both foods were causing me diarohea & unbearable pain. I replaced the chicken with hake & started to eat half a small ripe banana, which thickens up my output & causes less pain. It's very eatly days so a lot of trial & error.
Hope this helps.
