Reply to "Can your Kock pouch hide other problems?"

Hi Jeannie,
I am so sorry that you had to go through this and lost your pouch in the end...did you have any other pouches done and removed or was this your first one (sorry I am brain dead at the moment and remember nothing...)
I never had a j pouch but went strait to K...when needing valve repairs and bowel resections etc I asked my surgeon if I was at risk of short bowel and he informed me that no, if he had to create a whole new pouch there would still be enough to go round...the pouch takes over a lot of the intestinal functions so he did not consider a redo to be dangerous for that reason...
Not advising or hinting but just for your information.
Be well, be safe and take good care of yourself and your new anatomy...I hope that the itching stops soon.
