still feel awful. Not eating well, all I want is sleep. How long will it take to start feeling a bit better? Is it normal to blech? I'm only 4 days out. I still have the pouch. Could this be hindering my recovery? I had a emergency Ileo due to pouchitis. Any tips? I'm already hating the bag and I got to get over it. Can't go back. I hope I don't need another surgery to remove pouch. This is hard. Im 60 now. 15 years with jpouch. I don't remember the surgeries from 15 years ago. Damn, I had 3 to make it work right, so many complications and problems.

Ally- why didn't they remove pouch at the same time? I'm your age as well and having permanent Illeo plus pouch removal together. I have the best surgeon and hospital in Canada and she only does it this way in case pouch causes problems when left in. I hope all will be well with you soon.
My doctor didn't feel my body was up to a big surgery at this time. Omg I hope I don't have to do this again.
