Hello fellow ostomates, I am heading into surgery to have my j-pouch removed; wish I had never tried this procedure. It has never worked and now it is infected. Life is good though, I have a positive outlook and it will be better that it's gone.

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.
