Reply to "Lifespan of pouch"

skn69Member

I've had my K pouch for 40 Yrs this summer...still the same pouch...it is made out of your intestines, no artificial materials so it should age normally like the rest or you or even better for some.

Hernias are an occurrence that can happen for a lot of reason, inborn muscle defect or weakness, overexertion during exercise or lifting of something heavy or due to age and the thinning of your muscles.

As a woman, I started getting them after age 45. I got about 8, one after the other and then a few at a time because my muscles were thinning out and getting weak with age...now I am all mesh in there and things are better.

It is a lottery. You just never know but I would not worry about it too much...you deal with it and whatever life throws at you one day at a time...and in the meantime...You live your life and enjoy it!
