Reply to "J pouch deterioration"

chiromancerMember

I have had my j pouch removed. The end ileo is in approximately the same location as my loop was. The location is not usually related to how much small bowel remains. The bowel is not gravity powered. It goes down up and around. ileos are usually on the right side, but not always.

I wanted the stoma to be some lower than I got, as it would make consealment easier. The stoma nurse felt it would would be less prone to leaking if we located where it was originally, so I went with her suggestion. It works well, though a bit hard to conseal in swimming trunks as I knew it would be, so I typically wear a swimming shirt. The main thing is you want a stoma that has an opening that is about 3/4 inch or perhaps more above the skin for easy pouching.
