Reply to "Finally ditching the j pouch"

Wendy, I can personally relate to the problems that you are having with your J pouch.  You may already have read the post that I made in this thread a year ago about my decision to have my J pouch removed.  Since that time, I wrote an article entitled, “Researching My Options” that was published in the UOAA magazine “The Phoenix”.  This article can also be viewed on the Quality Life Association’s web page (www.qla-ostomy.org) under the “News” tab.  I am now on year 7 with my BCIR and no longer have the problems that you mentioned in your post.  While there are no guarantees, the vast majority of those with BCIR’s and the closely related K pouch have had very good results.  Please send me a PM with any questions that you have or would just like to talk.

Bill
