Reply to "J-Pouch vs Stoma Bag"

Personally I'd stick to pouch forever it has almost given me my normal life back. My stoma bag was just a nuisance being too skinny it won't stick in my stomach properly and needed to be changed every 1-2 days, needless to say the skin irritation and hardships trying to change a bag come with it, I just can't handle any of that. I don't know where you live or what exactly is a FAP but if your surgeon is giving you an option of a pouch and you're in condition to handle the little ups and downs in the initial months go for it and don't look or think too much. Majority of people are living perfectly healthy life many don't post here so don't base your choice over others. 

Yeah getting an opinion is nice but keep in mind that the surgery if offered to only those who are compatible to have one. I've had polyps in my entire intestine so my surgeon removed the whole without second thought or asking for an opinion, I trusted him with my life and he did his job. He said once done you'll never have to look back again for any surgeon and I again trust him with that. 

Good luck with what you decide 👍
