Although I've been post- j-pouch surgery since 2003, this is my first time writing here. Since surgery, I've had many successes with my health which has led to greater happiness. Of course, there have been a few bumps in the road, but overall, I have been fortunate to enjoy life with my husband, 3 year old daughter & many other friends & family. I'd be more than happy to talk and share with those who need it!
