Good post Janice. I remember when I was new reading all the problems people were having and wondering if I should get a kock pouch or not.

Even though I just lost my kock pouch which was made from a 15 year old j pouch I still would have had the kock pouch surgery.

For 8 years my kock was ok. No valve problems just some scar tissue issues. Even though in the end, July 17, 2014 surgeon found my kock pouch had fallen off the wall and into my pelvis he had to remove it. I dodged a permanent ileostomy for 22 years. YAHOO. Now at my age 63 I can deal emotionally with an ileostomy a lot better than when I was 40. Thank you Dr Launer and Dr Worsey who do incredible work in the field of colorectal surgery. Jeanne
