Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks to all who offered their much appreciated information on the J-Pouch. I have decided to go for the entire enchilada and have the entire colon removed. I will be going in for surgery on 15 June to have my colon removed and a J-Pouch formed. I will have the bag for about three months until it all heals and then they will remove the bag....God willing. I will be in the hospital for about 5 days and at home for about 6 weeks....boring. I guess that is needed. The good side of this is that I won't have the UC anymore and won't be needing the steriods or Asacol...thank God. Thanks again for the comments and suggestions...it really helped. God bless you all. Larry, 57, Baltimore, UC, PSC 95, Degenerative Disc Disease, 2003, Colon removed, 07 See what's free at AOL.com.
