I am considering the jpouch removal. I'm 64 years old and have had the jpouch for 2 1/2 years. I've had multiple bouts of pouchitis and go to the bathroom 15 to 20 times a day. No sleep and and lots of arthalgia. I just want some sort of life back. I do have crohns and am on stelara. Trying to get off prednisone after 5 1/2 years. Looking for some advice and courage to do this.
