Reply to "Middle-age pre surgery"

I did mine when I was 59.

But I was warned. Where my ulcers were chances of a pouch working were not good. I did the pouch and it didn't work.  I'm ok with the end ileo.

But being 59 I even tried the pouch first.

No question that I would in my 40's.

My ulcers were close to the end of my colon.

I'd ask questions about where your ulcers are.

Higher up the better .  I personally think it needs to be disease free where the pouch get hooked up at the end.

As you can tell. I'm not a Dr so I don't know the terms.

But I'm sure you may understand what I mean.

Good luck!

Richard.
