What do you suggest if i'm having surgery number two for a j-pouch, is there anything i should do to prepare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.

I've seen two doctors, one said I need a microdiscectomy the other said I shouldn't have one & to have radio frequency ablation. Dr Steven Simon responded that it should go away in weeks, but it's been over year. Dr suggested RFA because he feels the disc has calcified and surgery should be avoid due to damaging the nerves, this true?
