after numerous attempts to control my chronic cuffitis ( heavy bleeding- frequent bowl movement 15+ times a day and severe pain and irritation ) at the recommendation my surgeon Dr. Weiss at Florida CC I will be undergoing a pouch advancement surgery In September. I was informed that the surgery could be anywhere between 2-5 hours long depending on the surgical procedure. I understand this can be a very difficult surgery and so this has ramped up my anxiety. I hope this is successful so I may get on with my life after 5 surgeries, numerous trips to hospital and ER in the past 4 years. I also hope to be success story for other J Pouchers who might be suffering from the same issues. Keep you posted. If anyone has had this type of surgery please feel free to share your experience.
