Reply to "J-pouch surgery twice"

Hi Library Lil

Just to encourage you that I had a few surgeries and a revision of my pouch due to several abscess ! Had 1st pouch from 2009 to 2014 with an ileostomy! It was supposed to be reversed in Ottawa but then my surgeon said it was not possible anymore! Said I had to live with it! I sought a consultation with a surgeon in Toronto as all the other surgeons in Ottawa and Montreal refused ! I had a 75 % chance that it would work so I took the chance and ended up in hospital for 5 months with an ileus paralyzed intestine! By April 2015 the plumbing started working cane back to Montreal after a horrendous stay of scuff twice Christmas holidays in hospital with family and friends all in Montreal! Got through it and so took a few years for dust to settle! Always had diarrhea and now for last 3 months constipation anal fissures and pelvic pain which is controlled with narcotics! It’s been a rough journey but stuck to my gums that I wanted no ileostomy! So hang in there and to let you know I had 2 jpouches and then surgery for anEUA exam under anesthesia in feb 2015 and emergency surgery a week after as spiking temperatures and screaming in pain! They found nothing except scar tissue which he cleaned out! Then had blood transfusions and TPN ! Went through hell but hung in there telling myself I’m going home with no ileostomy! Have faith and day by day! Good luck!
