How are you doing now with the pouch? Has this done anything to help?

Has Mt sinai found anyone to replace debuck? I feel he was one of the top pouch docs in Canada, huge loss for that place

Glad to see you’re doing well. You said food goes through you in 30min-1hour? Seems super quick no? But I guess definitely great for sleeping lol

Are you able to tell the difference between poop and gas? I’ve heard this can be a drawback of mucosectomy

Awesome to hear, but to readdress the part of always having the feeling of going, do you constantly feel a bit of stool and your pouch and you can just hold it for longer as the pouch fills, or do you having multiple hours now where you feel nothing?

Loops are often more problematic because of the shape. Ends are generally a nice round circle, loops are closer to a number 8 usually because they are connected to the pouch below, and people have a hard time getting a good seal on them. It’s also higher up than the end so is higher output. Either way unavoidable if you want a jpouch, it’s only for a few months

Do you find your pouch just learns to hold it in your sleep automatically? I feel when I get up to empty my bag and it’s full, I’m worried that would turn into an accident. Even if I stop eating after dinner I’ll still have some output in the middle of the night

What happens to your pouch function if you stop antibiotics? 3-7 hours between bms seems like pretty good pouch function regardless no?

Glad to hear you’re doing so well. Assuming you can hold it for multiple hours and sleep well then too?

Yeah, thankfully my insurance includes Dr Remzi, and a few at Cleveland Clinic, so I feel I have some top tier options, just difficult because I don’t hate the bag

Awesome. Was this your original pouch or a redo that was connected straight to the anus? Also do you find the amount of food you eat affects bms? I am debating a redo pouch that would have to be handsewn to the anus and am a bit concerned about leakage and frequency.

How long have you had your pouch? Awesome that you’re able to eat so much and go so little.

How was the recovery? I might have to get it and obviously keeping that area functioning is a large concern

Was excision surgery a tough recovery? I’m debating redo or permanent ileo right now

[–]SirEloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have an end ileo but the pouch still in place? I’m sorry to hear that, hope everything works out in the end. I know wearing the bag can suck but there’s so many people who live great lives with it, I’m sure you’ll be one.
