VSG and Crohn's Disease

[Indymom 132]

I'm close to 3 months post-op and my flare has gotten a little worse. My gastroenterologist wants me to have a stool culture to rule out c-diff before he starts me on a steriod. I still believe that ultimately my symptoms will be better with surgery, but I think the flare is the result of the effect of surgery on my body (happened to me after the c-section with my daughter too).

I'm scheduled for the sleeve on Thursday and I'm scared out of my mind. I am worried that I'll start a flare. I tend to have some off days here and there but haven't had a big flare since 2009. Someone please tell me that this will be worth it....

Omg for the past two months I have had the absolute worst ulcerative cholitis flair up with so much pain n blood loss since I got the sleeve exactly two yrs ago. I will have a sigmoidoscopy on Monday. The medicines I am taking r not helping except giving me way more acid reflux that I often throw up. I have low blood pressure n have not been able to exercise for two months. I'm gaining weight cuz the stuff I can tolerate eating are not healthy things. :0(
