Hi all - It's been a while and I see there are many new faces on here. I am still waiting for my surgery date. I finished my last round of pred January 13th and my GI now has me on Budesonide (6 mg) as well as Imuran to tide me over. It was working until a couple of weeks ago and I am now considering bumping the Budesonide up to 9 mg (my GI told me I could do this if I needed to, but I have been trying to hold off).
I will be having about 10 cm of intestine removed and some fistulas repaired. The surgeon says he will try laproscopically, but there is only a 50/50 chance it will work due to the fistulas. I know a lot of people have posted questions about what to expect after surgery and these have been very helpful. I just have a silly one left:
How does bathing work afterwards? Can you get the incision wet? (sorry I have never had surgery of any kind so I am a newbie)
