Question Diving with a J-pouch

Hi
In Feb this year I had my colon removed and an ileostomy formed due to Ulcerative Colitis. I have resumed diving and so far have built my depth back up to about 50 mtrs with no problems.
I am due to have J-pouch surgery and wondered if there were any divers out there who have had this surgery.
I have managed to find 3 divers so far who have had it done. One is fine, one has problems on deeper dives and one doesnt dive deep.
Not much to base my decision on really.
As there is no official research available any information would be much appreciated.
