Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Healthy diet: Surgery #2 usually means closing the ileostomy. That usually means you are now off steroids, have gained your healthy weight back and are generally feeling good. Keep eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. If you smoke stop. Follow your surgeons instructions.
