10 years with my J pouch!

@mgmt10 Happy Anniversary!
Hopefully it’s not covid. Feel better & stay safe!

Sorry for the Covid!

And YAY!!! Congratulations dear!!!!! How are you going to celebrate???

Congratulations! I love hearing positive stories!

Sure is nice to hear a lot of people are doing well with their J pouch after years of having it done. I'm going to have the second stage  of the j pouch surgery in a little over a month, then the final one after that. Looking so forward to be getting rid of this illesotomy bag thing in a few months! I hope everyone is healthy and happy!

I am finally feeling better from COVID.  I am glad that COVID did not cause any new issues with my j-pouch

Congrats on your 10 years!

Congrats and hope you are healthy.

Thanks everyone! My covid test was negative. That’s amazing being my husband had it. If I didn’t get from him I I feel confident I’m not going to get it from going about my daily routines. The masks and distancing work! It will be nice to return to normal on day though. Be well everyone!

A friend of mine in New York City tested positive for Covid, with symptoms, (apparently got It from going to his local gym), yet his wife managed to avoid catching it from him. She is a very "Nervous Nellie" kind of person and I was thinking she must have been freaked out the whole time. She also has to care for an elderly mother who lives not far away from them. Anyway, glad to hear you are out of the woods. Maybe you developed the antibodies on your own?

Although she was never tested I'm 100% convinced my wife had COVID back in March of 2020. I never got it and my kids didn't get it either.

My husband has tested positive with mild symptoms and I'm waiting on my results too. Daughter was negative and I don't have any symptoms at this point. Congrats on 10 years!

HI!  I think we were in the same "class!"  I am also at 10 years since diagnoses, first surgery. After a few bumps in the road, doing very, very well.   Continued best wishes!  - John.

Yes! I remember posting along with you when we were “newbies”! Lol. Happy to hear you are doing well!

This virus is so strange. We traced my husband getting it from our niece who works for him in his office. Her husband and daughter both got it but their son and her mom who lives with them did not. Myself and our two sons tested negative although we’re still in quarantine.
My husband had a strange and uncommon symptom. An Itchy rash/hives. Just weird. We are thankful it was a mild case.

The guy who manages the cleaning company that cleans our office building and our firm's space had Covid in December.  His only symptom was loss of smell.  He told me, "I knew something was wrong when I couldn't smell Lysol."  He went and got tested, was positive.  His wife and son also tested positive but had no symptoms.

My 83 year old father is scheduled to get his Covid Vaccination on January 24, a Sunday morning at 6 am at a local hospital.  That means an early wake-up call for me on a day when I normally sleep in, because I have to drive him there.
