hi there i am a 23 year old female and 10 months ago i was diagnosed with crohns and ulcerative colitis. i was in agony for about a year before they knew what it was and was in hospital for 2 weeks on morphine for the pain.

i have been on numorous steriods and medication ever since and do feel better and i was 11 stone then 8 stone now 11 again! so eating like i was but my gastro dr says i need an operation to remove nearly half of my large bowel!

i am having this done on the 11th may 2009 but very nervous! i am going on a drinking holiday on 5th august and its 12 weeks after the op, could anyone tell me please is this a good idea?

and also could anyone give me any information on this operation? i feel i do not need it but he says i do?

any suggestions n what to do? i am sooooo confused!

thank you
