UK J Pouchers

English TonyMember

Hi everyone, I'm from the UK and currently waiting for re-constructive surgery following a Ileostomy for Colon Cancer last year. I had an initial Ileostomy that was supposed to be temporary but my Op went wrong and I had to have more bowel removed resulting in the possibility of a permanent Colostomy, I sought a different surgeon at the RVI in Newcastle UK and he is going to attempt to re-join my colon or if this is not possible construct a Ileoanal pouch from my small bowel, I wont know until I wake up what Ive had. Im very nervous in either scenario as I know lots of people who have their colon rejoined have an horrendous time toilet wise and Im totally unfamiliar with the success of a J Pouch in the UK. So any advice any UK people can give me would be much appreciated.
