Hi Andy
thanks for your reply.
the diver having problems was fine until he started going deeper. on deeper dives he got pain on ascent which lasted 24 hours. he has been advised that this could be due to trapped wind expanding on ascent and to slow his ascent down. he is an o/c diver.
as i dive a rebreather i tend to do a slow ascent anyway so maybe wont have this problem.
all the surgeons have said i shouldnt have any problems but i think it would be nice to here it from the horses mouth so to speak. trouble is there doesnt seem to be many people diving with an ileostomy never mind a j-pouch.
i have actually wondered if mine is the deepest diving ileostomy

regards
Julie
