Reply to "JPouch Removal- How are you now?"

MommaMember

He has a diversionary loop ileostomy now and has come to accept that it may be permanent one day. We still are going for tests and there might be the ability to salvage it. On the other hand we know that it may need to be excised at some point. He hasn’t thought about the bcir. Is that the same as a k pouch? Neither of you have any long term problems from pouch removal? He wants to be done and is worried about the long term end result.

Oh and our surgeon (very reputable Dr. Khaitov at Mt Sinai) has removed 20 pouches (one of his own, the rest came from elsewhere). Do you think 20 enough experience?
