Hello, I am new to this site. I would love any advice. I have had ulcerative colitis since 2009. I have not been in remission since April and I am on several medications. I have an appointment with a surgeon in a few weeks. I know that removing my colon is the drastic last resort move. My life is so miserable now being tied to the toilet. Will surgery improve my quality of life? Or should I keep taking medicine that makes me feel like crap (pun intended) and not placing me in remission. Thanks for any advice.
