Reply to "Making a decision on J pouch surgery"

Thanks for a very informative and helpful post barrister.

it’s refreshing to see you can enjoy Indian food also. See with my bag I am able to eat pretty much anything and atm eat pretty spicy food also without problem, although I remember worrying about not being able to eat what I wanted to with the bag. I understand that with a pouch the result may not be the same with the bag but I’m confident my body will adjust after the initial period and hopefully I can enjoy my food.

im prepared for initial Butt burn and understand why that occurs so will hopefully be able to brave it. I’m from UK so not sure what cream they will give me, but calmoseptine is commonly spoken for USA ?

28 years that’s incredible! Long may it continue.

yes my surgeon is very experienced in doing this surgery and has done 100+ I believe and is well regarded.your last point is a very good one. I like to be well informed and educated about things and have done a hell of a lot of research about this procedure, even watched the whole surgery! But your right the people with little to no problems will not be posting here. I just worry of all the things I have read I may be that unlucky one!

was your connection done double stapled or hand sown? I believe mine is double stapled which is more safe and less traumatic to the anus region.

apologies if my responses are scatty, I’m just typing out whatever I can remember, lots to think about atm.
