Welcome. Sorry you had to come here but there are some good people here with good advice.

Welcome. Lots of good information. I used this site prior to surgeries and since then. Lots of good advice.
Thank you. I have already benefitted from being a member and it has only been a day. Sometimes reading this site can provide a grim outlook but in sure there are many success stories too.
Welcome to this fantastic group. I am more of a lurker than poster but I always learn lots.
I agree that there are some grim realities on this site, but also lots of people do have pretty good success with j-pouches. Like I've heard others say, the people who are not having issues are not the ones likely to post.
Welcome to the group!
I was afraid that with my scars and frequent trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night that I would have trouble dating again.
But that's not the case. Women still find me attractive, even with the scars and the latenight pooping.
I mean, there's still women that find me extremely annoying, but my J pouch surgery has nothing to do it.
