Too bad your ileostomy didn't give you relief AllyKat. It's hard to remember all that is going on with each other for me. I think I was diverted to my Permanent ileo around the time you were using one too. It took me months to get use to it and I still have difficulties with my skin from time to time. Those times are getting further and further apart.

I have scheduled my j-pouch removal in a month. I had recurring UTI's after the diversion surgeries and the antibiotics must have been helping with my j-pouch. Now that the UTI's are gone and I am no longer on antibiotics I know my j-pouch has to go. I should have listened to my surgeon's suggestion to get it removed back when she diverted it. I am now mentally ready to get rid of it but am having a lot of anxiety about the surgical recovery. Gotta do what we gotta do.

I hope the biologics work well and you never need to go to an ileo again!
