Well, I met with my surgeon on Thursday of last week, and he's adamant about doing surgery in February of 2010. He feels that he should take down my pelvic pouch and leave me with a permanent ileostomy. Yuk...
My question is, has anyone had a J-pouch procedure done and then had an ileostomy done, then reattached the J-pouch? I am running out of time...

Been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt to prove it!!
For God's sake, girl, don't you pay any attention to the other good people in here?
I went through the same thing; my surgeon refused to do a reversal for me after telling me that in 1 year she would. She said that I would have to wear that thing for the rest of my life. That I would have diarrhea (can't spell it) for the rest of my life. I told her "that dog won't hunt" and found me another surgeon. Got my reversal a year and a half ago and am doing great. I can do anything physical, or at least that a 74-year-old man can do, and will give the fifty-year-olds a run for their money. Darlin', get another surgeon, and I wish you as good luck as I had.
God bless
