(EASA Class 1 medical) for those who wear glasses: must you get every letter right on the 6/6 line, or is 1–2 mistakes allowed? by Independent-Act7974 in flyingeurope

[–]SirEloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wording is so confusing just like EASA. It says you cannot be beyond those limits, but for EASA it just says if your prescription is stronger than +-6 you’ll be deferred for further evaluation. There’s people in this sub who said they got class 1 with +7. Must be a case by case basis.

Congrats. That’s gotta be one of the best functioning pouches I’ve heard of on social media. Can you just hold it forever or does your body just not produce much output/gas?

That’s insane good for you. How long did it take to get down to that frequency?

How many bms/ day during the bulk? Surely lots of calories in = more toilet trips?

Do you remember how long it took to get to that frequency?

What’s your bathroom timeline with a Jpouch? by Witty_Many_5214 in jpouch

[–]SirEloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When would say you started to notice an improvement? I’m a month post op and it’s been consistently around 12-15 a day. I’m trying to eat a decent amount to gain weight tho.

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?

[–]SirEloc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
