Has anyone had K-Pouch surgery? I’m trying to learn how practical it might be for me. I’ve had ongoing issues with my illeostomy, including a repeatedly receding stoma. There are only a handful of doctors in the US who do the surgery as none are in Dallas, where I live. I traveled to Cleveland Clinic in November and met with Dr. Steele, who performs K-Pouch surgery. Since I wouldn’t be able to receive follow up care where I live, I want to try to find out how practical it would be for me to travel up there for surgery. Does anyone have experience with K-Pouch surgery and/or long distance medical care? Thank you in advance!!

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
That's

I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that
