Reply to "J pouch deterioration"

Very interesting Ciromancer. On the way to j-pouch removal I elected to be diverted to a perm ileo first.  I was hoping my j-pouch would get better.  I should have listened to my surgeon as had the j-pouch removed 6 months later. These surgeries were at the Mayo clinic and the ileo stayed in the same place both times - on the left. When I had my meeting with the stoma nurse she just marked locations on my left side. My perm ileo works a lot better than my temp one did and I was thinking that is because it is further down the stream, intestines, than the temp one was.  

I guess it really doesn't make a difference which side as long as it works. I agree that further down the abdomen is best. 

So there you go Strange - it can end up on either side 😎
