Reply to "K-pouch vs. ileostomy vs. current status"

Yes, have an ileostomy. Am actually happy that I got up the nerve to remove the j-pouch, which served me well but was plagued by chronic pouchitis, which led to the dysplasia. Am okay with the ileostomy. Didn't wear a support belt at first so got a hernia and had that repaired. Since then I've worn a support belt and have had no further problems. Am not even aware that I'm wearing the belt and I don't think about the ileostomy all day except when it's time to empty. Rose
