Reply to "Fistula, incontinence, pouchitis, cuffitis - any hope?"

Yes, my surgeon and GI both believe that the cuffitis was the cause - it was reeeeeally bad. To tell you the truth, I should never have been reversed to begin with and had the mucosectomy right away.
The pouch advancement surgery was actually the easiest surgery I have had yet. I was prepared for the worst, actually terrified of it, but really, it was a piece of cake. My surgeon was able to do it all transanally though which is why I had such an easy time with it. He had initially given me a 50% chance of it going that way and I am so relieved it has. I'll be reconnected on 6/6.

I hope that things are going a little better for you. Please keep us posted on your next steps.
Good luck to you!
