How lose fat or weight with only having a small colon/ jpouch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not lose: The 'j-pouch' refers to a loop of small bowel that is used to fashion a new rectum after removal of the colon. This can help to increase continence of stool as it acts as a storage reservoir like the actual rectum. This fact alone will not lead to weight loss, but the disease that caused it to happen (usually uc or crohn's), and the associated malabsorption, may help one to lose weight.
