Nah... I'm sewed from the inside. 

She said she did that and left it intact just in case I wanted to try the pouch in the future.  

I asked her if she would give me another if I decided to do it and she said "NO". Lol she would refer me. 

I don't want another one. I'm fine. I don't want a "barbie butt" because it's more surgery that is not necessary and it would be painful. So I'm good. 

I don't know what my future holds for me but if it stays this way until my last day on earth I'm fine with it.  I'm not a young man.  I'm not real old. Although my grandkids would argue that.  But I'm in a good place. I don't hurt anymore. I can eat what I want. Except cheese and potatoes. I love potatoes too. They both blow my wafer out. So I can't. Unless I want to change. Ha ha. 

Like I've said a thousand times I'm fortunate. I didn't ever expect to end up where I am but I accepted it and that's what made the difference. Acceptance.

R. 

Yeah, if its not necessary for a Barbie Butt then its not worth the pain and money lol. And since you have accepted the ileostomy and can live happy with it then definitely keep it! Who wants to risk more possible suffering, especially at your age. Are you misssing a lot of your small intestine since they had to take the J-pouch out???
