Hey,
I was diagnosed with UC in 05. After trying the meds & Remicade I had J-pouch surgery because my colon perforated during colonoscopy..I had a bag for 22 months because I had lost a lot of weight so had to gain weight for final step surgery. It's now been almost 2 yrs & I am learning to live a "normal" life again. I'm not my ideal weight because I tend to stay away from fatty & greasy foods :p
I am 32 now & look & feel like a 22 yr old because I guess UC/Crohns makes you feel & look like a kid all over again in a not so fun way!!
If anyone out there wants to ask me anything regarding UC/ life after surgery, I'll be happy to help :)
Hi! I'm from Old Bridge area. Are you looking for a GI or a surgeon in NY? Call them again because they get hundreds of calls everyday. I had surgery for UC in NY & got excellent care by my surgeon.
