I'm trying to learn more about anyones experience with surgery while on Remicade. I've had Crohns for 31 years and It was an awful experience for a 7 year old. My Crohns has been very aggressive but has always responded well to medications.
I've been on 400MG of Remicade since 2002 and right now I'm getting it every 8 weeks. My doctors recommended a resection surgery to correct a narrowing in my small intestines. All my symptoms are typical of an intestinal blockage and this area is very scarred and now inflamed. I hope that the Remicade is still working and can keep my Crohns under control.
Has anyone else had surgery after being on Remicade for a long time? I'm worried about the Crohns coming back and me being in the same or worse situation as I'm in right now.
