I cannot express in words how much I love my j-pouch. It is two years old and functions beautifully. I can eat almost anything I want (have to watch citrus and blueberries...butt burn) and do any kind of activity I can think up. I work full-time as an ER nurse and can quite honestly say I don't give my pouch a second thought. I will be forever indebted to my surgeon. He gave me my life back by removing a colon that had ceased working and was ready to rupture. I had no idea I could feel this good. My fervent wish is for all others with bowel issues to feel as good.
Happy New Year,
Michelle
