Reply to "Advice for a possible new J-Poucher"

I had my first surgery January 10, 1991, takedown on May 15, 1991, and was commuting to nursing school (full time) by September 1991, and soon after also added working 24 hours a week at a pizza joint. Things got better for me pretty quickly after each surgery. I was being pretty "normal" about 2 months post op each one.

I had youth on my side then. I turned 20 on June 6, 1991. I think that was helpful for me.

Lance, pretty sure what Jan means is if with an ostomy they "closed" your anus (completely removed everything there, and gave what some call a "Barbie Butt"), you can't have a Jpouch formed after that. If they left sphincters and some plumbing, you might.
