stricturoplasty Stories/Reviews/Results
Hi everyone,
I have been dx with Crohn's Disease for 6 years. I have tried everything from Pentasa - to 6mp. I have been on 6mp for the longest and nothing seems to be working. My G.I. is having me do a trial of prednisone for 10 days to see if that will help me (which its not - its actually making my constipation worse).
So I go see a surgeon tomorrow. I have severe scar tissue at my terminal ileum. I had 3 balloon dialition done throughout last year - that didn't help - so this why surgery is my next resort.
Can you anyone share their stories if you have had this type of surgery done. What is the recovery time, results from it, was it worth it....
Thanks!
