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

CEEECEEE I am getting takedown surgery on my pouch on 15 June. My loop ileostomy stoma is flush with my skin and it is to right of navel. I have not enjoyed this temp stoma as it is hard to seal. Basically I burn all the time with a "Bee sting" and I get back cramps directly behind stoma. I was glad to read your positive report.

I came to UC late at age 59 subsequent to a C.Diff infection. At least with the ileostomy I have no more 20-30 urgent trips and I can sleep mostly thru the night
