Reply to "How old were you all when you got your J-pouch?"

Yeah,I was 22 when I had it done, I am 27 now. I could not imagine getting it at your age. In my opinion getting it at an older age is harder since you guys have been through soo much. I opted to get it done at 22 so it would be easier on myself later. You guys are very strong. 

When you and I first talked, I believe you were 63, you must have had a birthday recently. Happy Belated Birthday

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?
