I have had a pouch for almost 35 years, way longer than I had a normal colon. I have had many problems but still going and still working as an airline pilot. Interestingly enough there is another pilot in the company that I have flown with that also has a pouch, but only for a few years. I suggested that this could be a media photo opportunity for the company as they sometimes do when two female pilots fly together. I’m sure our crew pairing was far more unique than two female pilots.
On a serious note there is much new age mumbo jumbo about the importance of gut flora to well being including mental health, yet I have found little information on the gut flora present in those with a pouch and if there is any significant difference.
