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.

It goes by person to person. I talked with a person that has had their J-pouch for literally over 40 years. And I talked to some that had it for less than a year, its depends on what happens to the person. But do not worry, us IBD people can through anything! I think the most important thing is to stay in the moment and enjoy present
