Reply to "J-Pouch Removal"

Hi Michelle, I am also considering pouch removal. I actually just posted a survey on this topic a coupe of days ago int the survey page. I have mine disconnected but its still there 7 years now. you can still get diversion colitis with it still there, which I have. Also cuffitis, and strictures. So some people consider removing the pouch when they have it disconnected. If you leave it in, it  means you will need a 2nd operation later to have it removed if needed if causing problems. I hope to follow the survey results to hear more about peoples experiences.
