@Mpale033 posted:Good evening to all,
I have a a couple of questions I think some knowledgeable people on her would know the answer to in a general sense,
I am not happy at all with my jpouch and have been highly debating going back to a permanent ileostomy. For those that had a good experience with a end ileostomy, and had a Jpouch, but then went back to ileostomy, what is the transition like?
I had a great experience with my ileostomy, no issues whatsoever, but I am wondering since they would be cutting my jpouch out; there would be less small intestine left which makes me think the transition time may be even shorter than before.
I just wish I could go back to life with my end ileostomy! Going on 3 years of struggling with my pouch and I am at wits end.
Thankful for any information or advice I receive in advance.
Michael
Hi Michael,
Sorry your having so much trouble with your pouch, what type of issues with your pouch are you having?
I had the opposite, hated my ileostomy, have had my j-pouch for 40yrs. I think finding the right doctor & medicines may change your mind to keep your pouch. Good luck with the path you choose.
someone just posted the same topic your asking, lots of good info on that thread
