Thanks.
The years go by fast.... All my issues seem like ancient history. Lol.
I do know starting my process at 57 was hard. But I was at my limit. I couldn't be the way I was. Mentally and physically I had no choice. It was hard. And when your that age only you can make that final decision. Two times.
To finally remove it. And to go to a bag after pouch failure. I reached my limit twice. It was either do it or whittle away. Neither was an easy decision no matter how sick I was.
Enough of my story.... Everyone has heard it before. And it's still on this site somewhere. Lol.
Any comments on the Marathon protectant? Has anyone used it?

I only recently found out you had Crohns. Too bad the Crohns messed up your pouch. I am just glad you have peace now.
