quote:I was wondering if anyone has ever had a temporary disconnect, in order to give their pouch a "rest." Either a loop ileostomy or a complete disconnect with an end ileostomy.
I was offered temp loop as a option but I had had enough. I really didnt see any hope for my pouch and was "done" If you do this I would probably go with a loop ileo as my experience with the end ileo and pouch in place was bad. In the end its just more surgery and these surgeries take a lot out of you, at least at my age (61) they do (did).
