35 years with no problems - then various problems intubatin for the past 3 years. Ended up in hopital with an infection a inflammed valve. The GI team inserted a tube which I kept in for 6 weeks; I changed weekly by inserting an endo wire in through the old tube, pulling it out over the wire (used in endoscopy), then using the wire to guide in the new tube. Now inflammation is gone and sll is back to normal.

I had a conventional ileostomy for 2 years and still skiied, swam and hiked. My skin is ultra-sensitive and breaks down easily so the Kock pouch was a godsent! In spite of this recent problem, I've had a better quality of life with the pouch!!
