LGBT Mardi Gras. Like the rest of the city, the New Orleans LGBT community has been celebrating Mardi Gras since its beginnings in the 1830s. But the first official gay Carnival krewe, the Krewe of Yuga, wasnât formed until the late 1950s. At the time, Yuga was forced to remain relatively underground, organizing balls and parties in private homes.
Special Concerns for People with J-Pouches. A J-pouch is made from the end of the small bowel and attached to the anal canal to form a pathway for the passage of stool. Your body will need some time to adjust to having a J-pouch.
Are you looking for an alternative to a permanent ileostomy? A J-pouch procedure (also known as pelvic pouch, ileo pouch or ileal pouch) may be the answer. Living with chronic pain, keeping up with taking numerous medications and being tied to the restroom is no way to live. After having a J-pouch procedure, patients regain control over their bowel movements, choose when to use the restroom and resume a normal life.
