I'm wondering if many j pouchers suffer from post surgery depression? I'm 5 months out and still get the occasional internal pain but I am always tired and out of energy. I am currently being treated for depression... I am being told all is good with my pouch and I should be able to resume a normal life working and socializing but I don't feel any better knowing my pouch is ok. I feel like the decision I had to make of keeping a diseased colon or going through life without one wasn't fair. I don't feel like the old me anymore and I just lie around the house all day long feeling sorry for myself. Is this a normal reaction to the surgery... Maybe I'm just one of the exceptions. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
