Hi, I have Crohns of rectum, large bowel and 10cms small,. I have been lucky to avoid surgery (2 very close calls for ileostomy tho). I just want to wish you all the best for your surgery and that you can get some relief x

Hi that's great to hear your surgeries have improved your life. I had my op on Sept 4th Fri. So blinking painful. They found I had an absess and a fistula. They removed 40 cm of my small bowel. I've had a couple infections so I'm still on iv antibiotics and on lots of hard painkillers, hopefully I will be discharged tomorrow. I'll let you know if it works out ok in the end for me
