Reply to "Meds after j pouch surgery"

It's great that you are looking around at this site and observing others recoveries. Yes, some people do continue to have manifestations of UC post surgery; either in the cuff, or arthritis, etc. Some get chronic pouchitis, and thousands of others are like me; I take no medication for my pouch or anything else. I'm 12 years from surgery and I live a very active life and no in my close circle of friends would consider me different than them. Like you I had read this board and became knowledgeable on the 'what ifs' before making the decision. My belief has always been, if the jpouch didn't work out, I would go back to an ostomy. I just really wanted to be healthy and so far I have been.
