Hi all. I don't post on this site very often, but I am very curious to know how people are after 1 year. I read a lot of posts where it is said it takes about a year to fully adjust. What is "fully adjusted"? I am nearly at this milestone, have never had pouchitus or cuffitus or any other major issue, yet I don't feel comfortable with how I feel at times. I find the process of going to the toilet is not smooth. I still find it difficult to expel those last bits, and get pain following a motion. I have had a Defacating proctogram and a pouchoscopy recently, with no abnormalities. Is this what the result should be. Do I just have to deal with what I have been dealt or should I expect better. If anyone has advice on what I should expect I'd really appreciate it.
