Removing jpouch

I will let you know after I have mine removed on the 9th of Nov.  May be awhile after because it's going to be an open surgery so I have to heal a bit before I can get back here.
I don't have an ileostomy but will have one when it's removed.

J-pouch removal surgery is sometimes complex, because the pouch can be difficult to separate from the delicate structures next to it. It doesn't alwas turn out that way, but I'd suggest you choose an expreienced surgeon who has removed plenty of J-pouches previously.

I think my surgeon knows what she is up against.
She seems very confident.... And positive she does not want to leave it in as it may cause problems later in my life and I do agree with that.
But as I grow closer to the day I am getting anxious.
I wonder if I am doing the right thing.... On the surface I wonder. 
Deep down I know I have to do it.  And quit thinking about it.
It's been a bit more than two years since it was made and the three surgeries I had in that time are still a fresh memory.  So I know the drill and the pain that is coming.
It is a life changing operation.  I know I have to do it.  What I have now is not working.  I only hope when I get through all this I can finally get on with my life.  I am not living now.  Just existing day to day.  It controls me I don't control it.  If I get an ileostomy I only hope I can gain control.  Time will tell.
