Reply to "BCIR Surgery"

hi lisa, bill and sharon

i'm in the failed j pouch boat and sinking!!  my k pouch surgery is scheduled, as i have mentioned before, for friday the 13th, in nov, at cleveland clinic with dr. dietz.  i also had a consult in nyc with two docs and they are promoting redoing the j pouch, claiming that my problem is that it was improperly constructed from the get-go and i suffer from ischemia and not pouchitis.  they are not taking into consideration that i have anal canal pains that inhibit proper evacuation.  

 

i'm on board for the k pouch, but do need to talk with my local doctor one more time to make certain that the pouchitis is not going to be too much of a problem with the k.  i've run through all of the drugs for treating it.  lisa, i am interested in your experience with pouchitis and the k.  

 

sharon, not at all preachy, you are always informative and helpful.  

 

thanks all, janet
