Reply to "JPouch or Ileostomy"

Lauren Of Emerald CityMember

In my honest opinion, if it is not broke do not fix it. If you can live with an ileostomy and your not having any problems, I would choose the ileostomy. An ileostomy did not work out for me so a J-pouch was way better for me. So far its been almost 6 years and I am doing perfect with nothing wrong.

I am a J-poucher that goes anywhere between 13-20x a day, I am in the 9% of the J-pouch community that goes that often- and honestly after a while, you get use to it. Some days can be harder than most but I am honestly doing okay with it. My pouch has given me peace. If you are in the 9% with me, its going to be okay

I am a rare case though, 9% is pretty low.
