I read an old story on here about someone that lifted heavy stuff with their J-pouch and the staples came out of their pouch. That sounds scary! Heavy lifting is definitely not good for us I see.

Yes that does sound scary! Living with a J-pouch is a very different life style than the average person and I find most people don't even realise it. I know whenever I start a new job I always have to have a conversation with the boss and let them know about the surgery I have had done. And how I will need to hydrate and use the washroom more than the average person. "Most" of the time they are understanding. Not to mention waking up in the morning and having to go to work with a sore butt is the worst. lol.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this website, as I can read about people with similar experiences.
