Hello everyone,
I have been having my flair up for several months now and the main problem I have is a stricture.It was at its worst a couple of months ago when I was hospitalised and I was told by my consultant that it wasnt a good idea to operate during the flair up due to healing issues and being very messy because of the disease,basically I was too ill to operate on.
The problem I have now is that I feel a lot better although not 100% I have been left wondering do I really need the op?
I know that the scar tissue will never go away and in reality this is the perfect time to do the op because it will only get worse with time.
If anyone out there has had a resection or what ever its called please can you enlighten me on the subject as I know nothing much about it.I have been told that if I need a bag on they can probably reverse it but it all sounds extremely scary to me.
Deep down I know I need the op but just scared of whats to come.
Can anyone please share their experiences so I know what im in for?
Cheers!
