What in the world is a proctocolectomy? Does it always mean a permanent ostomy bag? What about a J-Pouch, or even a Kock pouch? What does this mean for patients?
Incredible advances have been made in surgery that allow patients some options (depending on their disease location and severity) when it comes to removing the colon and rectum. It is important to know the differences in each surgery as well as the complications that can arise from each. In this video, I talk about the plan for my surgery as well as the other options available.

Hello friends! My name is Maggie Baldwin, and I have an ostomy! Ok, I don't normally introduce myself this way, but I am very open about my illness! I have been living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease for most of my life. This means that body does not recognize my intestines as their own, and tries to attack them. I spent the latter part of my childhood taking numerous medications, tube feedings, and surgeries to get my disease under control. An ostomy surgery when I was 16 finally gave me relief, but I had to adapt to my "new normal". On this channel, I will show you how I live my life with an ostomy, introducing you to my fiance and our many critters, showing you my life as a pediatric GI nurse, and my advocacy with both the IBD and ostomy communities. My hope is to help guide those suffering from chronic illness in their day-to-day struggles while also allowing them a few minutes to escape their illness.
