After living with U/C for 15 or 20 years I had my first surgery in May of 2000 and takedown in Nov of 2000...

No real complications to speak of...Whatever small problems I have now are totally insignificant when compared to Prednisone and U/C...

There is an excellent local Surgeon who had personally done more than 500 operations by the year 2000, so by now he has done substantially more. He was/is my surgeon and have nothing but good things to say about him.

I am also more than happy to relay my successful experience to anyone who wants or needs support. Feel free to contact me...
