Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I was planning on going, but it looks like I can't make it. My colon has decided it needs to get one last flare in before they yank it out and put it in a specimen jar on Jan 17. I don't want to drive two hours in the morning (my worst time always). The hardest part has been the delays in the schedules. It was originally supposed to be done in November, then December, and now the 17th. The problem is all scheduling, since they need both the colo-rectal surgeon and the plastic surgeon to button me up, and my hepatologistto make sure I get through the first couple of days afterwards without a problem. You guys have helped me because it seems that everyone here who has had their colon removed seems to think life is much better afterwards. ANd it won't be that complicated for me since they aren't removing the whole colon in my case, just most of it. No J-Pouch. Anyways, I'm not going to the UC Conference.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Jon Hey active UC just makes the " clean out " part that much easier. I got admitted the night prior and arrived cleaned out. This made for much more quality time prior to the " big event " Best luck. You'll be better for it!!!!
