Reply to "Colon Removal--Advice Please"

I have never heard of the procedure being done without a J Pouch being created out of the ileum. The rest of what you described is what all of us had with J Pouch surgery. The only thing missing is the J Pouch. So where exactly does your doctor propose that the stool be stored? The whole point of a J Pouch is to act as a surrogate colon. Based on what you describe there would be no storage facility and if there isn’t, I assume you would have a ton of BMs as food simply passes through with no “truckstop” anywhere from your mouth to rectum. Doesn’t make sense and sounds like we may be missing something here.
