Proctocolectomy

A proctocolectomy is a surgery that removes your colon and your rectum(large Intestin.)This surgery is the only cure for UC/Chrones. After this surgery the ulcers will never come back.

No one I know has this disease. I have no one to tell me why or why I shouldn't get this surgery. I have asked for this surgery several times. I have always been told no. They have no idea why I want this surgery. It would help a lot. I have thought about this many times, and I have always wanted this from the start.

- No more pain- Getting a proctocolectomy takes away the pain. Even now that I am in remission I still want the surgery. Remission is a recovery state. Remission is where you have no pain or bleeding. The pain is excruiciating.

- Less restrictions- After getting your ostomy you can have anything you want. When you have Ulcerative Colitis you can't eat much. No spicy foods, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks etc. I want to be free like I was before.

- No Extreme weight loss- I have lost 22lbs since I was having this problem. I eat a lot. I love food but I constantly lose weight.

- Not as tired- I am always so tired. I sleep all night and I am still tired.

- Fears- I constantly have this fear of it turning to cancer. I mean anyone could get cancer. Before I was diagnosed I did not have this fear as bad.

I want this surgery more than anything in the world. I have never been in this much pain. This is my only cure. I have been told many times to stop asking for the ostomy. They just don't understand my pain. I have been on steroids to cure the symptoms and help me go into remission,but it's not a cure itself. No one understands my pain. I want these ulcers out. I would burn them out myself if I could. I hate having this disease.

Author Notes: So that's why I want this surgery. Message me and tell me what you think about the surgery. Should I get it or nah?
