Living with It is a nightmare

I have had a couple of people in my life that have had Crohn's. It's tough, but if you stick to a disciplined routine you can manage it pretty well. Another key thing is to educate you friends and family about it so that they understand it when you tell them "No, I can't do that" and they don't give you any crap for it. Best of luck, its a tough road ahead, but not impossible.

You're right, it's a long but not impossible road ahead. Right now I'm crossing my fingers they don't want to start removing things. . .

You're a fighter,... and a good guy,... you will overcome no problem! My Miss Invicta has had it for 20 yrs,... does not really impact how she lives at all,.. just made a few adjustments that were healthier anyway.
