Reply to "Longevity with Jpouch"

PSJ,

Your question has been the subject of numerous prior threads on this board, and possibly a poll as well. The short answer to your question is that there is no life expectancy of a J Pouch. There are many people here who have J Pouches that are over 30 years old (myself included) and I believe one person who has had it for 40 plus. They didn't really do J Pouches prior to the 1980s. Some people end up with problem pouches and have to have them removed after a month, and some have lived with them with zero problems for 30 years plus and will die with them. So there is no industry standard life expectancy of a J Pouch. It's variable.
