Reply to "Finally ditching the j pouch"

Prednisone does complicate things.

I wasn't taking any meds. My pouch just never worked. I was in that percentage.

I just had to make the decision myself. We all know how hard that is to do.

It's what my surgeon told me. She said when I was ready she could fix me. She was right. I was stubborn for two years. Worst two years of all.

I only had four surgeries total. The last one was the removal and that was by far the easiest and I healed quickly. Now I had no complications. Zip. Zero. I was lucky. Just had to get over the hurdle of accepting the end ileo. That took a solid month after 11 days in the hospital.

But I haven't looked back and have no regrets

Good luck to you.
