worked in 1994 and hopefully it has worked in 2009!

Surgery was fine. No one told me though it was going to REALLY hurt afterwards, and I was too younf and naive to know .After that 100% better! I take steroids, which i HATE, and also other meds. I have had a hard time with weight since then, but maybe that is not all steroids... maybe because i am 40?
I would do the surgery 100 times over! it really changed my life

J-pouch. What a wonderful blessing for me

The first times were very hard, after eating only a handful of rice I felt pain in the abdomen. But little by little it went better, now I eat almost everything except milk. Sometimes I get low on sugar but I eat quickly some cookie or something like that

Had a laproscopy to lazer scar tissue and lesions, have had three successful pregnancies since.

Questions Questions Questions, and honesty. If you are nervous tell them. Recovery is nothing compared to the pain you are already having.

Osteotomy to correct chin on chest posture.

I have had three cystoscopies one surgical stent removal and three or four ESWL procedures. The ESWL is most effective. I have had severe kidney infections after cystoscopies and stent insertion where it required hospitalization.

I have had three cystoscopies, one surgical stent removal, and I think three or four ESWL procedures. ESWL is the only thing effective for me; I would get severe kidney infections and end up hospitalized after cystoscopies and stent insertion.

Worked first time in 2007 for 1.5 years. I had a 2nd surgery at the end of April and still have no relief.
