So after many months waiting and trying to get funding and paperwork ready for surgery…. it’s finally come together. I haven’t been writing much because things have basically been the same – cramps, blood, joint pain, etc. But as of today, May 5, 2010 I am now ready to schedule the J-Pouch surgery and colectomy and ileostomy and be able to document it and detail it for all of you. I’ll write more details when I know them!

Ashley,
best wishes on your upcoming surgery. I have heard many people who have had the operation come out and say they had wished they’d done the surgery sooner. Let us know how everything goes.
all the best,
Paul

Good luck! I have an ileostomy and also a J-Pouch. I tried the reversal once and it failed. My surgeon left the J-Pouch just in case I wanted to try it again.

I agree, all the best to you. I am new to all of this too because my mom was just diagnosed. I hope everything goes perfect and that you find relief!
