Reply to "Thinking about ostomy"

I am scheduled for disconnect and end ileo July 9th. Have had the pouch for about 20 months. Kicked this around with my surgeon and GI for a while, made the decision, emailed my surgeon and felt a relieved happiness, the end is in sight. I have had incontinence problems from day one. Being older I think makes this easier, vanity diminishes with age. I am also in a long term relationship. I can fully understand the reluctance to go to the bag but the J pouch has really restricted my activities (I did well on the loop ileo)so I am actually looking forward to having the bag, which is kind of weird.
