J Pouch surgery at an older age

Robert DavisMember

I am 61 years old with a history of FAP. and have recently learned that I must have my rectum removed due to High Grade Dysplasia. My doctor has explained the the risks and benefits of both procedures but I still cannot decide weather to have a J pouch or a permanent ileostomy. I would like to hear from anyone who has had a J Pouch surgery in their late 50's or early 60's. Please give me both positive and negative results and what your quality of life has been after having the surgery.

Thank you,

Robert
