Just a clarification, a j-pouch does not have an expiration date. However, a colectomy is forever and you need to be sure about it. I delayed over 6 months and wound up having to have my colectomy while on high dose prednisone. Not the best choice. I was on an elemental formula diet for a month to try to turn it around, but no luck for me.

Thank you for this clarification. I saw that written a few places on the forum and was concerned if the jpouch generally doesn't last a lifetime.
