J-Pouch Life: Breaking up with my Colon

Join Hannah and Leela talking about j-pouches and their experiences living with one. Learn about what a j-pouch is, their diagnosis story and process of getting a j-pouch including living with an ostomy, and their "new normal". Because j-pouch surgery is most commonly a multi-step process, hear about their day-to-day life pre j-pouch surgery, while having an ostomy, recovering from surgery, and what they are up to now! With some jokes along the way, we hope you enjoy our talk about j-pouches and feel a little less alone if you are thinking about surgery.
