Hi there- I have been cleared by my gastro Dr to have the sleeve operation. I had Ulcerative Colitis for many years that lead into having a pouch. I've had my pouch with no complications for over 10 years. I'm curious if anyone in this group has a Jpouch and has had the sleeve? I'd like to know how you are doing, how surgery went, ect! Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and reading your stories to help me decide if this is right for me!
