Hi there;
So I am supposed to get a small bowel resection surgery tomorrow for an stricture in the ileum at the site of a previous anastomosis.
The problem is that I just started Stelara (my first injection after the induction was a month ago) and I had a lot of stress these last two weeks.
I started to have loose stools about 10 days ago but I have been going downhill.
I don't know if its Crohns coming back or an intestinal bug....wishful thinking!!! I am afraid it is Crohns since I took a 20 mg Prednisone pill that I had left from the last time and it seems it is helping a lot.
So tomorrow I have the surgery to fix the anastomotic stricture.
Is it ok to have surgery if Crohns is active? Supposedly in my last colonoscopy 5 months ago everything was fine.
I am worried if they go in and I have inflamation everywhere...well I don't want to end up with an ileocecal valve resection or with another ileostomy.
By any chance does anyone around had this type of surgery done before?
