Lauren, while it’s true that pouches sometimes fail and need to be removed or bypassed, it’s also important to remember that this is a major, complicated, and consequential surgery. Some may disagree, but I consider it akin to an amputation: you do it if you really have to, but you never treat is as a casual solution to a problem that hasn’t been fully addressed medically. Yes, people usually do quite well when they’ve had to give up on a J-pouch that can’t be fixed, but people usually do quite well after amputations, too.

That sounds right
