J-pouch Life

Hey all, Its been about 6 weeks since my surgery…and this one…of course didn’t work out 100% awesome like I wanted it to. The surgery went ok, I got my pouch but he didn’t do a takedown. Also the stoma separated, and retracted, my vagina got tilted, I got depressed, and all sorts of other [...]

So I’ve got 8 days until we try to redo my step 2, which is now technically step 3 of 4….its complicated. But in anticipation, I’ve created this facebook page. Enjoy.   Dr. Remzi Gave Me A New Butt

Hi ya’ll. So, if you’ve been keeping up with the blogs over the past few months, you know I’ve had test after test to see what’s wrong with my pouch/me. Throughout the years I’ve had strictures, twisted J-pouch, Crohn’s, pouchitis. Now my new surgeon wonders if I even have Crohn’s. Maybe it’s just the worst [...]

Well, my J-pouch and I are now married to a wonderful, fully-coloned man named Rob.   We both have a new last name.  Not sure if the pouch is going to hyphenate or not… Our knight in shining armor is Rob, who has stuck by us through blockages, twisting guts, and many surgeries. What a guy! [...]
