Hi everyone, I have seen this community for a while and finally decided to join.
I had my surgery Sept 23/08 where i got my temp ileostomy and had a j-pouch built. Since then i have had a leak in the connection of my small intestine to my rectum that wont heal, and so soon I have to go have major surgery again to redo that connection and then hopefully have my takedown.

I hope this community will help me with fears, frustrations that i have and even putting a smile on my face when I need one

Hi MichelleV, I'm from Toronto too. I just joined the site today!

How are you doing now?

What were the symptoms you had to learn about this leak?

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you
