I read somewhere that the operation to remove pouches is worse than when they removed our diseased nasty colons. As memory serves I think a big concern is with the arteries supplying blood to the intestines. Is that right Jan? I think we only have one vs two now. You might want to ask them about that. It is your body and if you want to go back to a stoma it is your decision. Is it easier to go back to a stoma and let the pouch rest before making the decision to remove the pouch? We are not getting any younger.
Just because the fellow doesn't understand why you are having such hard time doesn't mean you are therefore better. If he trying to convince you that you aren't sick is crazy. It's like he is calling you a liar! Can you by-pass him and talk to the real surgeon? I hope the tests you are undergoing reveal something that can be done to help you. You have to be able to eat to live! Good Luck
