With such aggressive surgery do you now need a pouch? How has the surgery affected your cycling? I am 42 years old and have had Ulcerative Colitis for 23 years now. I do get scoped about one every 4 years which is not nearly enough. This sounds silly but I think the primary reason I do not get looked at more often is that I am scared as hell about what the results may show.
