Hello,
This is my first time on the forum. I really respect your honesty. I am 6 years out from getting my j pouch. The first year was horrible but things got better. Now I am going backwards. I was in the hospital at the end of March for a total obstruction. The worse thus far! Afterwards I had numerous accidents and could not sleep much at all. Last week I had another obstruction which now the accidents are far more frequent. I am 61 and this has caused me to make the decision to retire early. I am even considering disability. No one seems to understand. My surgeon is 100 miles away and my family MD doesn't have a clue what to do for me. I am really at my wits end. Please help??
