some of you that know me very well know i've been suffering hardcore from ulcerative colitis for 2.5 years.
i've been getting infusions every 5 weeks for the past 1.5 years which stopped working a few months ago. my final option was surgery.
j pouch + temporary ileostomy (3 months)
basically they removed my entire colon, then they take the small intestine and fold it a few times, sew it together, and cut it to create new reservoir pouch area. it takes 3 months for that to heal before they reconnect the newly created pouch back up to the butthole, so during that 3 months i have an external ileostomy.
an ileostomy is where they cut a hole in my abdomen about 2" wide, and pull part of the intestine through. then you wear a ileostomy bag, so when food get's processed, it gets to that section of intestine poking out of my belly and collects in the bag, since the rest of the system is cut off for now while the j pouch heals.
i got a HUGE 6" scar on my belly now too. had 25 staples.
i was at antioch kaiser for the past 6 days and got discharged last night
in 3 months~, i'll go back, then they will reconnect the new reservoir and remove the ileostomy. then i should be all back to normal

Working Lito? They are having that event in Fremont again @ the Lexus dealership.
Get well Jeffbob! I won't say soon cuz it looks like a long recovery process. I was amazed in what doctors could do when my son was born and have no doubt they were able to take care of you as well.

fitment around the fender area is off a little bit since the shop had to do some custom work without my car being there. drive side is off by like 1.5cm, passenger side has a broken tab so i cant put the screw on..
I can live with it for now until I figure something out.
