2 month check up

Went to Cleveland clinic yesterday for a two month check up and assessment. It was hard to go back. It is getting harder as time goes by. At the check up we scheduled the next surgery. It is set for July 17th. It's going to be a big one, approximately 6 hours and 7-10 days in the hospital. The doctor will either reconstruct the current jpouch or create a whole new one. Im concerned about using anymore of the small intestine, if it doesnt work. The doctor is optimistic it will work. He is the best in the country. This surgery will determine the success of the JPouch procedure. I'm at about 85% success rate now. I was told if the procedure was done right the first time the success rate is 97%, makes me pretty angry now. I am hoping this surgery works, I hate to go through any more and time away from my family for nothing. Hoping not to worry too much before then.
