I am scheduled to have my pouch removed November 30th 2015 and get an end illeo.
I have a few questions to ask the surgeon but what wondering if anyone here had any other questions I should be asking before it is gone.
She is removing the Pouch.
Here are the questions I already have to ask.
1. Why remove the Pouch?
2. Location of stoma? I know where I want it.
3. I have lost a lot of weight.
Question on this in is... If I gain some weight will I be able to keep my pouch? This is the main reason it is getting removed. Along with it not working properly.
3. I started using questran again. It is helping some. Absolutely no burn. That's wonderful but I need to use it longer up to the surgery to see if it helps otherwise. It does keep things thicker but still harder to get out. Just doesn't come out. I have to push pretty hard.
Those are my questions.
Can anyone think of others.
I have had second opinions. All say my pouch is healthy.
Just won't work the way it should.
I want to save it but if I cannot put on weight in two months it will have to go.
Richard.
