I go under the knife tomorrow. Need some good thoughts.
I have Crohn's disease. Thought things were going well, but in the last month have had a turn for the worse. Need surgery to cut out some bad small intestine. On a hopefully positive note, my Crohn's is very localized and the surgeon thinks this surgery will leave me in better condition. Hope he is right. I go under the knife at 9:15 tomorrow morning. Today it is nothing to eat so that should make me extra grumpy. Week stay in the hospital and around another 2 week recovery time.
It sucks sitting here typing this relatively free from pain and symptoms at the moment knowing the next few days is going to be a miserable experience. Ah such is life!

They do it laproscopically now, don't they? Few scars, less abdominal trauma.

Look at the bright side. You live in a time when a trained surgeon using pain medications can "fix" you problem. If you lived just 100 years ago you would likely die from the problem. The discomfort will be gone in a few weeks you can go eat some Mexican food!
Good Luck!

You guys are great and I enjoy the humor. Actually the more the better.
Patrick, assuming all goes as planned, it should be laproscopically. Rika, yes I have to "Higgins" before I can leave the hospital!  Oh and I am getting a 2 for 1. They are also going to remove my gall bladder! Hope the surgeon doesn't think he is on a roll and start taking out anything else.

Kurt, good luck!
As a fellow member of the Crohn's club I feel for you, truly. I maybe in the same position one day, I have fought with all my might not to have the resection. Have they tried Remicade? It looks like my doc is going that route since I have developed an abcsess and fistula.. I do not know if it can reverse the narrowing of the intestine though. Off to the bathroom again! Best of Luck Mike

Don't worry, only less than 1% of people wake up during an operation! Get well soon.
