Reply to "Older age: J-Pouch versus Ileostomy"

CeeeeCeeeeMember

I am 74 and have had my J-pouch since I was 61. All is well but that is not to say that I don't have some leaking/seeping at times. I have also wondered if at some point it wouldn't be better to revert to an ileostomy....prior to becoming so debilitated that I couldn't care for myself with/without a J-pouch. If I were a care provider, I'd prefer a patient with an ileostomy. So easy to take care of someone whose effluent is contained in a bag than "smeared" all over her/his bottom! My thoughts, anyway. In addition, I didn't mind having an ileostomy at all!
