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.
