Answer 1; I am soo sorry Doug!!!! You have been through hell and back at this point. You can leave the unused J-pouch in for years. I have heard of people and even watched videos of people leaving in their rectums, colons and J-pouches for years while having an ileostomy- the highest amount I heard of so far was 8 years, I am sure its more.

Answer 2: I am sure if you express your feelings to the doctor, he will understand.

I do not appreciate the comment "20 bowel movements a day is a failure". As a person that is in the 9 percentile of going 13-20x a day, I can honestly say is not a failure. I live a great life with my pouch and I get work done as the other 9 percenters in our community. We 9percenters keep living and work around our pouch. We 9 percenters that are healthy do not have a failed pouch and its most certainly not a failure.
