I was wondering if anyone has a child who has had jpouch surgery after a subtotal colectomy? My child has had a stoma for 6 years and is doing well, we are thinking of doing the jpouch now that she is getting older but I cannot seem to find any information of children who have been through the same experience. I would really appreciate any information.

J pouch only works if they are 100% sure it’s not crohns and just ulcerative colitis
J pouch doesn’t work for crohns patients
how old is your child ?
Done growing ?

Yeah, I am sure you have read all the pros and cons of that surgery. My daughter has Crohn's and was facing a colectomy but a pouch was definitely not in her future given her Crohn's. You might have more luck asking in the adult section as I think there are more ostomates there. Also there are a bunch of stony support forums on line.
