Reply to "How common is a one step pouch surgery?"

I have Gardners Syndrome. My Father had his surgery in 1983 and it was a three step process mainly because he is 6'3" and the surgeon was afraid it would leak if done in a one step process. In 1990 I had mine and was tattooed on both sides for a temp or permanent. I was glad to wake up to a one step process and have had better results with mine as far as being able to control bowels more. Maybe because I was so young(25) and determined. My brother had his first 3 months ago and is taller than my Father and therefore came out with a temp bag for the same reasons. Afraid it wouldn't hold up to the pressure while healing. He just had his reversal three days ago so not sure how his outcome will be. He is patiently waiting to pass something.
