| Re: Diving with a J-pouch
Hi Roger
Thanks for your reply.
I have had no problems diving with my end ileostomy so far and that is why its been such a difficult decision whether to have the pouch or not.
Im actually booked in for surgery on 5th Nov and think I have decided to go ahead with it as I think I would always be wondering if I didnt give it a try.
Its another massive chunk out of my life and means me stopping diving again but I suppose it will be worth it if it goes right. If it doesnt I know I will regret it and wish I hadnt bothered.
Im sorry it didnt work out for you. Can I ask if you had Crohns or Colitis? Mine is Colitis.
Have you tried the bags with the velcro closures? I use Coloplast bags and have never had a problem whilst diving. Never liked the look of the clips!
Regards
