Can I get a TT and J pouch surgery?

kh2010
Have had UC for 15 yrs. Stable at the moment. Would like TT after 2 babies. Hesitant bc I worry a possible J pouch surgery in the future would ruin new abdomen. I know this is prob a question for colon surgeon but does anybody know if a laparoscopic j pouch surgery (non emergent) would cut through/ruin diastasis recti repair? I know there would be scars on the belly but I’m more concerned about having the abs cut through! No current plans for surgery. I’m healthy. Just thinking ahead.
