Ok this is one of those just curious type questions but how many j pouchers out there have named their j pouch? You know its kinda like if you had to go through the temp ostomy stage... The wound care nurse encouraged me to pick out a name for my ostomy.. so I'm sitting here wondering how many people named their j pouch after the takedown.. funny story, I went out to dinner the other night with a good friend... My j pouch begun to act up (it didn't agree with the shrimp scampi) and my friend excused herself from the table to use the ladies room... While she was gone I caught myself actually talking to my pouch... Trying to calm it down! Like I did when I had my stoma (usually during bag changes). Anyways, I'm sitting at the table looking down and talking out loud to my j pouch and as I look up both the waiter and my friend were right in front of me with the weirdest look on their faces that you've ever seen... Talk about awkward lol so, I began noticing this is something I've been doing since the takedown surgery... So, since I treat it like an individual; might as well name it right? Lol would I be the first or is this something people have already done.. like I said... Just curious

I do however tell my insides to shut up every now and then when they are noisy!
When I had my ileostomy, I called my stoma/bag Bilbo
