Thank you for your advice. I have a scope in June, which will be 6 months post-op. Hopefully, if everything looks good and the Skyrizi I'm on does what it's supposed to, I'll have my reversal shortly after. If not, I can handle it, but it has been a hard adjustment, that's for sure. I'm slowly learning what works for me and what doesn't. I've been in and out of the hospital since November with 3-4 hospital stays. My pain has lessened, but of course, the skin issues and leaks are a whole new problem to tackle. I'm hanging in there, though, the best that I can. Thanks for the support <3

Yes, it took me a long time to adjust also. I was in and out of hospital/doc visits. I hear you on the skin issues too... seemed like one week everything would be great, then boom - skin irritated AF. After my reversal, my skin that had been under the wafer so long got SUPER DRY and all flaked off. Must have been regenerating? Fine now.

One of my best friends was taking Sky-Rizi for psoriasis if I'm not mistaken. I hope it works for you! Hang in there ;)

Thank you so much. I appreciate your input. I just had my second dose of Sky-Rizi last week and have a scope scheduled for the end of June, which will be my 6 months post-op. Hoping everything looks good to get the reversal because this tiredness and the skin irritation are so draining mentally and physically.
