Has anyone gotten reconnected after their ileostomy? I heard there is a J-Loop procedure. Jack D.

Hi, you'll find reversals and their success rates come down to many different factors. I had a loop ileostomy after a subtotal colectomy to allow an IRA connection to heal. I had gone through a bunch of testing before and after the first surgery to make sure we thought my body could handle the type of reversal I had. What I have is different from a J-pouch. You'll hear from more people who are trying/have had J-pouches than an IRA.

G-Day Jcd, I had a J-Pouch for 18 years after having all of my colon removed, but I had 18 years of big problems. I eventually told my surgeon to get rid of it and I went for a total ileostomy and got my butt sewn up as well. Best thing I have ever done. I now love my stoma and have for the last 3 years. Think hard about doing it.
