Reply to "Jpouch removal"

I have several fistulas and a leak in my jpouch that has created an abscess near my tailbone. I have a rectal vaginal fistula with seton placement, that still causes pain and has bleeding and stool leaking. I recently had a drain tube in to try and drain the abscess near my tailbone, once they removed that they put in stints in the three openings my jpouch has so that it will drain back into my jpouch instead of that area near my tailbone. After the stint placement, it migrated and started coming out of my rectum and I ended up in the hospital to have it replaced. The stints are now back in place but I am still having constant tailbone pain and the feeling of needing to have a bowel movement constantly but having extreme difficulty actually going. They said there is also some inflammation in my jpouch and have me doing steroid suppositories which doesn’t seem to be helping at all.

I am sorry to hear all of that! I do not blame you for wanting to get it removed, I would do the same thing this point. Do you want an ostomy or K-pouch???
