Shoflo, my pouch was also full, as was the intestine above it. I was in the hospital when mine was found. I had gone to the ER for a possible blockage. They admitted me and were going to do surgery to unblock me. My surgeon decided he didn't want to do emergency surgery on me, because he said I could lose my pouch. So came the collaboration between the surgeon and GI doc. only what to do with me. It was a lot of hurry up and wait. An Ng tube for five days, and lots of enemas and x-rays. Finally they did a pouchoscopie. Pouch was still full. They have a chopping and rinsing tool to get that out. Thank God. Mine ended up being a stricture at the beginning of the pouch. It's was closed to the size of a pin head. The GI dialated it with balloon. I guess this is something I will have to go and get done periodically. I've increased the amount of liquids I drink to try and keep the stool pretty soft without being diarrhea. I also try to watch the amount of stool thickening food that I eat. I treat this as dealing with constipation. Lots of water, I drink grape juice or take miralax when I feel I'm getting blocked again. Im figuring as long as that is working I don't need to go get dialated again yet. I do still take Benefiber, so I don't have problems at night. It's a balancing act. It's do able for me. Certainly better than having the pouch removed. Good luck with the scope. Let us know what they come up with. Thanks
