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

I was told I may be a good candidate for a one step procedure but during the surgery the doc decided otherwise and I ended up with a 2 step. I am 8 weeks post op from takedown and looking back I think the 2 step def. worked better for me. The bag really isn't so bad once you get the right appliance and you don't have skin breakdown. Mine made travel so much nicer, if I din't eat much I didn't have to stop to empty out the bag. It was very predictable for me. Now with my j-pouch I have very good mornings but by late afternoon I tend to start going alot. So I guess my pouch is getting pretty predictable also. I was lucky enough to have mine done lapriscopically and that was nice! Good luck on your surgery and keep us posted on how things go.
