Hey Eric, I'm 6 weeks in with new j pouch and I feel ya. Some days are so tough!! I'm 54 and got diagnosed about 10 yrs ago. I had same thoughts as to if I made the right decision and would love to have my bag back. But then today happened and I seemed to turned the corner and finally got some relief. (Thanks to metamucil)

What a game changer it has been today for me. I developed ileus 2 days after surgery, had extreme butt burn, and had to have pouchoscopy already. Pouch looks great but Dr found a "web" in me restricting my output with pressure and pain. It's been a rough 6 weeks but things are looking brighter now! I hope you get to this point also!! Stay strong!!
