Is adjusting to an ileostomy tough?
by DKinMN, Jun 03, 2009 01:07PM
I am looking for any and all advice and opinions regarding ileostomies. I have had a j-pouch for six years and due to chronic pouchities, will probably have a take-down in July. Is this decision extremely hard for everyone?
Thx,

I have FAP and had my entire colon and rectum removed in 2002. They used my small intestine to make a j-pouch and it's not working well so it should really be removed. The only option left is a ileostomy.
