Hello I'm new here!
I met with my GI today and we both decided, along with my family, that having a proctocolectomy is what's best for me. I have my pre op appt set for October 3 so, a week from today. Then I'll set my surgery date. I'm having the surgery within the next few weeks for sure before my prednisone taper ends.
I'm excited and nervous and scared and about a million other emotions are running through me. I've been reading through these threads on the stoma sub forum so I guess I have some idea as to what to expect. I guess I'm just looking for support from people who know what im going through. I love my family more than life but no one can support you like the people who have been there, done that.
I look foward to hearing from you!
