Billy I was on more drugs than I care to remember. Remicade, asacol, pentasa, azasan, even Prednisone and none of it worked for very long.
deadtrend it's really an amazing surgery. They pretty much remove 99% of the colon only leaving a little bit at the connection to the rectum, then they connect the end of the small intestine to the small section of the colon they left behind and create something called a J pouch which acts as a holding area til you are ready to go to the bathroom. There is no colosami (sp?) bag needed anymore with the technology and understanding of the anatomy anymore.
The best part is I'll never be on drugs anymore and I can actually go hours without having to go to the bathroom where before I would be afraid to drive down the shore for fear of hitting traffic and needing a bathroom ASAP.
