Reply to "Trying to decide between a permanent ostomy or a j-pouch"

Thank you! What I have been trying to do is make a decision on whether or not I want a permanent ostomy or go for the 2-3 step and get the j-pouch. I am a little upset about the idea of missing so much work with multiple surgeries. I am a single mother with no sick time that would cover me there... so the surgeon said he could always take the colon and rectum all at once, giving me one 4-6 tome frame off work and that’s that... but f I do that, there is no chance of reconnection later.
