Reply to "Finally ditching the j pouch"

Hi all!

Thanks for your input! I had a lung issue and months of prednisone which put surgery on hold. After coming off the prednisone in June, I have felt terrible. I went to see another gastroenterologist (not Shen-no offense to the Shen lovers) at Cleveland Clinic thinking omg the Crohns is really affecting me now. He took one look at me and said the pouch needs to come out; it is the closest thing you can get to a cure. My surgeon happened to be in the next hallway so I have surgery scheduled for August 29th for j pouch removal, Barbie butt, and end ileo. I am so glad someone finally said it-the pouch has to come out. It stopped all that second guessing. I am nervous as can be about upcoming surgery but hoping no other medical fiascos pop up before then so I can finally get this pouch out. I feel lousy so I know it is time.
