My surgery
Hi Guys, It's about 12 hours before I go to the hospital for my ileocecectomy. My feelings are very mixed right now, excited, nervous, anxious, eager. The fact that I'm getting on/off pain is motivating me even more. I'll try and keep a log of how it goes on here just so I can share my... -

How likely is a leak?
Hey guys, I met with my surgeon and he explained that because I'm on predniselone, so underweight and malnourished, I may need a temporary bag in fear of a joint failure and to let the gut rest for a while. He said he'd make the call on the day but ultimately it's my decision. Little... -

How long after pre-op tests is surgery?
Hi guy, So I've finally been booked in for a pre op assessment and MRI but still don't have a date for the actual op. From experience, once you have the pre op tests, how long after is the surgery performed? I'm thinking they wouldn't do the tests if the operation still a long time away? Or... -

Surgery? I think so!
Hi guys, I've been suffering from a flare up since October 12. I've exhausted steroids and infliximab. I think I'm mentally ready for surgery. Having met my surgeon, he advised I would need about 40 or so cm taken out (which shocked me). He also said they might need to put a temporary stoma in... -

Surgery over remicade/infliximab?
Trying to push for surgery instead of infliximab which my doc is pushing for. Just really confused!!! I need to make a decision by tomorrow morning to go ahead with infliximab or to cancel and push for surgery. Why does everyone say, put off surgery as long as you can? Clearly everyone... -

Infliximab vs surgery?
So steroids aren't working for me anymore and the next step which I will discuss with my GI doc tomorrow will I presume be infliximab or surgery as we've flirted with the idea of those when I was last admitted into hospital. I'm leaning towards having an operation as I'd rather get it over and...
