I just remember this and forgot to mention before. The surgeon asked if I was on steroids for the UC, I am not. He had to ask that question because they will perform the surgery first through an incision through my belly button laparascopically to put some "gas" to distend the belly so they can reach up then about 3 other small incisions around the gallbladder to actually remove.
Apparently being in steroids keeps the colon sticking to the abdominal wall. I did not know that! So that's what I wanted to share. I did mention that I was on enema entocort and he said that's OK, as long as not on oral steroids.
