Lauren, thanks again for talking.about your experience. I really looked forward to getting rid of the ileostomy for the J pouch having too high of expectations it seems. I had no issues with the ileostomy, no blockages, though I had some challenges with the barrier at times as the "temporary" ileostomy was not a grade "A" effort. Just did not expect all the urgency and needed bathroom trips after the takedown surgeey..yes, have to be patient and we"ll see.

Of course! And yeah I totally understand! I think most people that are in the 9% of the J-pouch community that have 13BMS or more  everyday do not expect that to happen. I think all of us 9% people were hoping to go 6X per day but sometimes things turn out different. And maybe its for the best too. If you have any special questions about anything please do not hesitate to ask, us 9% people got to stick to together

When you return to work/school definitely let your teachers and bosses know your poop situation. 

I am happy to hear you did not have any blockages, blockages are painful AF!!!
