Woah, that's quick.

Almost wish I was following you. It's not just the Crohn's which is plaguing me - apparently all the fun extra-intestinal bits and bobs have come back as well. If life was as simple as going 10x a day, without the extreme urgency, the whacked out immune issues, etc. I'd actually be quite happy with that. I was expecting to go a lot after my reversal surgery - I wasn't expecting all the other sh!t with it.

Best of luck and hope you have a quick and easy recovery!

NCOT, I so agree! I was trying to explain that to my GI when she was still trying to convince me this first surgery would work,. It is so much more than just the pooping! I have a lot of the extra intestinal issues as well and they all disappeared when my disease was cut out and I had the loop.

I got lucky with my surgeon knowing my history and wanting to act so fast. My albumin and hemoglobin were low but still in safe ranges to operate without having to admit me for TPN and blood first so I think he wants to get me done before my bloodwork gets worse.

Here is hoping they find the OR time!!!!

Congrats! Hope your surgery and recovery go smoothly. NCOT sorry to hear that you're still struggling so much. Hope you get some relief.

I am so happy you've got an appointment. You've really had a rough time since your reconnect. I can't wait to see you back to feeling great again :)
