Reply to "Who really loves their J-pouch?"

To Rusted Fox - do all you can to hang on to your colon - but, if you must surrender it - and you will know when - you can have a great life with a j pouch.  The pouches now are so much better, the surgery is easier (no cakewalk, but easier) and results better for so many younger j pouchers.  If it gives you your life back, it's worth it.  My comments should not deter you - my pouch was done in 1987..did well with it for many, many years.  It is not really awful now, but it's more that I'm sort of tired of it.  But, as people age, they get tired of all kinds of things and have health issues.  I don't want you to be afraid if you have to do it.  We'd all prefer the healthy colon - but this is a great alternative is the healthy colon wasn't the hand you were dealt.  Good luck  - good for you to check out ideas about it - there was precious little info. back in the day
