Take a deep breath on this one, pls.
No, we are not cured. And, no, we are not a treatment plan.
We are who we are. And everyone is different. Not, 'one size fits all', here.
Had my pouch since '86. And when i forget about it for weeks, if not months,, I know I'm doing just fine. And, yes, I've had pouchitis and multiple revisions and blockages ... but it's our life. Embrace it. Own it.
My 2 cents.

I think you misunderstood me, I was not calling us a treatment plan. I was calling our J-pouch and ileostomy a treatment plan. Its like our medicine.
