I was the same and my pouch is nothing like that. I have firm control over it. No more urgent rushing to the loo. When I leave the house I don't even think about it any more
I had no idea that colon removal could be done laparscopically. I guess I was too much of an emergency at that point and so it was quicker to just slit me open. My ileo scar from the takedown is 3 inches wide. I find Bio oil very effective in reducing the scarring.
