I am very sorry to hear of others issues as well. I think they are finding out that surgery is not always a total cure for UC for those having jpouch surgery ( or what was originally diagnosed as UC ). After four years with my ongoing issues I'm pretty certain I will be facing surgery unless biologics are offered to me. I have pretty much exhausted all existing treatments other than prednisone again. I understand the frustration of hoping for better health after surgery and the disappointment of not obtaining it. Thank you to everyone contributing to this topic. Many days I felt very alone with my symptoms. I hope those still fighting find options that will
help them.
