After reading for years the issues with these surgeries and surgery upon surgery not working with risk I’m not so sure I want to try options myself. It’s exhausting to live with surgeries gone bad. Personally I will consider a permanent ileostomy since it sounds much easier per the comments above. I can’t be exhausted with the years left

@frh a permanent ileostomy would not have been my first choice, I have not regretted that it is what I decided to do. After 15 years of dealing with chronic pouchitis, fistulas, abscesses, and just not feeling good, it was a relief to leave that behind. The last 20+ years with the ileostomy have seen me in much better health.
