Here's an update on my situation to those that know my whole story.
I had my surgery April 15th and had 28 cm or ileum and large bowel removed.
I went though Prednisone and Percocet withdrawals aswell as dealing with surgery pain without antiquate pain killers. After that all passed I started 125 mg Aza to keep me in this surgery induced remission. My weight during surgery and when I was sick was around 105 lbs. Now it's July 14th I eat everything I want, I go to the gym, and I work 5 days a week and I weigh 145 lbs and gaining
Well just telling you guys I'm doing absolutely amazing and feeling the best I've ever felt in my entire live. The emergency surgery was the best thing that could have happened to me.:biggrin:

Such great news Thomas. Just what I needed!!!! I've been sick and on mostly liquid with occasional soft foods since April. Even with restricted diet, Remicade, Pentasa, and prednisone, the inflamation is worse and I'm to arrange a surgical consult on Monday. Hearing that several of you have responded so well to surgery is very encouraging. Thanks for all the great news.
