Reply to "J Pouch Fears - need support please"

Doug, plenty of folks do great with an end ileostomy, and almost everyone does less well with a loop ileostomy. Takedown is a smaller procedure than transition to an end ileostomy, so turning on your J-pouch is the easiest thing to do at this point. It might be worth asking them if they can do the takedown sooner, since your loop isn’t going well. Do you have specific concerns about the J-pouch, or is it a more general fear?
