Reply to "J pouch deterioration"

My 2nd ileo is a perm one on the left side of my abdomen whereas the temp one was on the right. They didn't put them in the same location.

I guess my understanding is wrong, although I only reiterate what I thought was explained to myself, as the expression was mentioned often before my J pouch was created and it was described in such a manner, that I actually thought I would have two stomas, one being higher up, so I asked specifically.

Maybe in your case, so much of your small intestine was used to create the J pouch or maybe a longer length was severely ulcerated and removed and what remained wasn't long enough to reach the old Stoma site.
