hello all, I've had my pouch for about 2 years and it has been roughly a year since my take down surgery. 

I have been having a lot of issues with partial and full blockages about monthly 

My most recent scope has shown a small patch of inflammation and a section of my bowel that appears kinked approximately 40cm above my j pouch. 

 

The gastroenterologist  thinks this is at the old ileostomy site and has said I need to go and see my surgeon.

What are people's thoughts on this and do you think I will lose my pouch over it?

Anthony,

I had the exact same issue. I had the area dialated under anesthesia (kind of like a colonoscopy procedure), It didn't hold as they thought it would. I ended up having a small bowel resection of the area. It did work and stopped my bleeding and issues at the time. Hope you have been able to get some relief and answers,

Sharon
