Reply to "2 step or 3 step?"

I had a 2 step and didn’t have any problems with leaks (and they do a pouch leak test before you can even go for step 2, which I believe is called a pouchogram). However your doctor’s reasoning sounds reasonable and wanting to err on the side of caution. The question I would ask is, if you fail a pouchogram due to a leak, you have to wait anyway before you have step 2, so wouldn’t that test pick up any leaks such as what she is concerned about? And then if so, don’t you just wait longer for step 2?

I had step 2 some 3 months to the day after step 1, after passing the pouchogram.
