hey guys its been a while since i've been on here but im doing great after having surgery for the first time ever, for anything on April 20th of this year..of the full removal of my ascending colon. Where they have reconnected that of course with my small intestine. and I edited an illustration of that in PS as follows also with me in my bathing suit and scar. The red there indicates where the inflammation was with my crohn's..where my small and large bowel meet it was so severely inflamed they couldn't finish a colonoscopy until about two times then that's when they saw all that and said "it's time for surgery!" I was so scared.. I was a mess crying in the hospital. I'm on anti-depressants now and feeling great..im getting back into shape and doing well..Another question..what is the longest time have you all been in remission since post-op?
