Bypass Flow Into Pouch/Re-Route

Hi!
Has anybody ever had the inflow into their pouch bypassed and re-routed? My pouch looks incredible/amazing (as per 3 different doctors) but I have a stricture that may or may not be able to be dilated. If it ultimately cannot be opened, the suggestion is to change the inflow to the pouch since my pouch is a work of art, so to speak. I know it's a MAJOR surgery, just looking to hear from anyone who may have had this done. Thanks!

I've not had this done, but I'd strongly recommend asking the surgeon exactly how many times he's done that procedure. I'd be surprised if you liked the answer.

My daughter had this done. She had a stricture at the inlet to her pouch that had been dilated many many times and also a very large ulcer that bled ALOT and she required transfusions. So after trying to keep from having a major surgery she finally had no choice and her surgeon moved her inlet from one side of the pouch to the other.

Thanks for your replies.
Scott: I don't know the exact number of times the surgeon has done this but I know it's a good amount based on the discussion today.
beckysmom: Thanks for letting me know your daughter had this done. I saw your post to my other post in the advice section & commented before seeing this. Your help is very much appreciated!
