Motomike,
Just the voice I was looking for. I was hoping that someone with the Ileal Pouch would reply. I just have a few questions for you.
From what I read, the pouch is attached to your body, is that true.
Is the pouch above or below your belly button.
Do you have to cath or void as frequently as the others do, or is it just when the pouch fills up.
How has having an external pouch affected the way that you dress.
How does your insurance handle the necessary supplies, do you get all you need or is it limited aqnd you have to reuse your supplies.
I am also somewhat confused, you said you could write your name in the snow.. I thought with the Ileal Pouch that the Ureters are attached to the pouch and nothing come out of the penis. Or are you playing a joke on me and you do it by using your catheter.
