Reply to "Finally ditching the j pouch"

I had my 30 year old j pouch removed December 6, surgery was 6 hrs of digging through scar tissued, 25 staples and visceral sutures in my barbie butt, all healed easily but my stoma is awful and needs revision sooner than later. My surgeon will not do it so I am seeking another next week. I am getting stronger each day at 66! I am surprised I had no pain after surgery either. Now I just need to find a good appliance until a revision. Mine are leaking on top where my stoma sinks and I have tried everything. I have severe skin allergies to tapes and even non latex flanges, skin prep and barrier rings. I had a loop ileo 2 years ago after fistula repair and never wanted to be reconnected. My last two years were not good, my great j pouch was never the same. My first surgery 30 years ago took a good year to fully recover an I was 34. It is not a speedy recovery. Best to all.
