Mussen - I was initially diagnosed with Colitis and they put me on cyclosporin as well, that's when I was first told I needed surgery. Thankfully it did help calm things down but I had a colonoscopy and was rediagnosed with Crohns when they saw that it had spread further than what Colitis...

Thanks for the positive review there :) Reading your lil bit it sounds like things are getting a bit rough for you so I hope that things calm down soon but if it does get a bit rough and you need it out then please feel free to message me or read the blog after I have the op to relieve any...

I know it's deffo going to be done by keyhole, which is quite a relief by the sounds of things. I'm just praying there aren't any serious complications since, well if there are then my plans might get complicated after that. It wrong if I sound more worried about uni than my Crohns, I'm equally...

That's two links I've got saved from you, I'm not going to to look at it tonight because I'm a lil bit tired but it's saved on my stickie so I'll have a gussy tomorrow, thank you! :)

Terriernut, my doctors and stoma nurses have said that as well. They've said that as long as I remember my plans in life and keep cool, do what I can when I can and try to get better then I'll be up and about. Even after leaving hospital I don't expect to go straight to uni, I need to learn how...

AHH and someone else added a comment while I was writting all that! Terriernut, all my info is downstairs but I can tell you that my bowels from the rectum to the sigmoid is scarred from previous inflamation but that's settled down, but they don't know how bad the inflamation is after that, so...

Cor, that's alot of people to reply to! Jandeacs, I've heard that people can be up and about a week, which is good because I want to go to uni! I'm already going to be late for my course! But I'll keep in mind that I need to stay hydrated and be sensible for the first few days. I'm a bit of a...

:) See THAT is exactly why I'm doing this! Before this I've had support from nurses and all but I hadn't really talked to anyone who had the condition or heard anyone else's story, genuine people. I want to help people and hope that my experiences can do that, but while doing this I've realised...

I can imagine it can be quite embarrassing. Like swimming. I used to be a right water baby, and I still do love swimming and rowing and all when I can. But the medicated swimming shorts that cover the stoma probably look like grandpa shorts, so hmm... Thanks, well if you have any ideas on what I...

Thank you, but that's one thing I've heard about having the stoma bag put in. Apparently it can make you feel too healthy said my doctor so I gotta make sure I don't pig out on food and put on too much weight! Cor that sounds like a bit of a shocker! No my doctors have been great for the most...

Thank you for the good will :) I think the reason why I want to forbid blog is to make something good come from it. If my experiences can give others a bit of peace of mind then that'd be great :) i've known it could come down to this for a while now so it's just the anticipation before having...

Thank you, I'm just trying to get some awareness atm, I mean sucks that I have to have it but im hoping blogging about my experiences and what it's like to go through surgery will help someone :)

Hey, my name's josh. I'm going to have the operation to have a stoma and a pouch on the 21st september. Scary times. I've had Crohns for two years and my doctors assured me that I've tried every medication out there but sadly we just couldn't treat all of the ulcers in my gut with just that...

Hello :) My name is Joshua, and I've had Crohns disease now for over 2 years. I found out not too long ago that I'll be needing surgery on the 21st September to have a stoma pouch put in place. Now I'm not going to mope or whine about it, but what I've decided to do is account for all my...
