I agree Chook. I had to try the j-pouch, and I’m glad that I did. This year is my 10th anniversary of my j-pouch, and I have had few problems with it (pouch iris once in 2012 and a few years, off and on, of butt burn).

I have a somewhat unique perspective on this issue. My father was diagnosed with UC when he was in his early twenties. When I was 5 years old, he had to have colectomy with a permanent colostomy. In 1972, that was his only choice to save his life. I am so glad that he made that decision. It hasn’t always been easy for him (leaks, hernia and issues with stoma), but he is a healthy 82 year old who just received his second Covid shot!!!
