Fawn

Hi Fawn - I was reading another post you put up (somebody in MN - I lived in Ramsey for almost a year, moved a couple years ago) and saw that you have Crohn's and had this surgery. I have Crohn's too, and was really happy when I found that they do the sleeve surgery and for Crohn's patients it works. I am just 10 days out from surgery and have not had any problems so far. Have you had any issues since surgery? I know pre-surgery I was pretty restricted to protein diet because of the adverse effects of veggies/fruits/grains/dairy. But I did do something about a month before surgery, I stopped taking fish oil and it was like my crohn's subsided and I could eat the forbiden foods in moderation with no problems.

I wish there was more online for other Crohn's patients to hear what our results are after this surgery.

Hi, I found the meetings are the 2nd and 4th Wed each month. I actually went last night after I found it. I needed to go, it helped calm my nerves a bit!

Hi there, I see you had your surgery, I hope all has gone well with you. I am relatively close in Anoka. Would be great to hear about an update!

Many blessings and prayers for you today. Hugs Judy

Sending prayers your way that your surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery!

Sending prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! Keep us posted! : )

Hi! I too am getting nervous, but I think it's just the waiting that is making me nervous. I've been on liquid diet/high protein for just this past week. I start the clear liquid tomorrow. I know it will be tough!! LOL I am going this evening and purchasing many, many, many boxes of sugar free popcicles! I will feel like it's a treat every time I eat one. (Mind over matter!!) My doctor says I will stay 2 nights in the hospital. I will be off work for 3 weeks. It might be too long, but I have the time and figure I could use it to get used to my new tummy .... How about you? What is your dr. saying for the hospital stay? How long will you be off work? Prayers are being sent to you as well........We will have speedy recoveries!!!! x

Hi! I saw on an earlier post that your surgery is Friday, so is mine!! I can't wait!!! Best of Luck on Friday and wishing you a speed recovery.

Thank you so much ! I am can hardly wait.

i hope u r too super excited the way i am, hope u have a good surgery and speedy recovery!
