Agree to research and get lots of opinions.

Just wanted to clarify that for most, whose pouch is working well, life with a pouch is not "running all over the place to find a toilet 10x/day" like a UC flare. The urgency is gone. My favorite memories right after reconnection were feeling like I needed to "go" but not going. I could get the urge and easily "hold it" for an hour.

Even now, with my sphincter issues, I often don't go #2 all day at work. I go in the morning, after work, in the evening, and before bed. Not at night. I go to amusement parks, exercise classes, all day walking around Washington DC. I am no more on the hunt for a bathroom with a pouch than anyone with a bladder.

Good luck!
