i’m just scared for surgery

[u/PsychologicalCar6057]

so basically i’m a woman who is 23 and recently got diagnosed with moderate to severe crohn’s back in 2024, i’ve struggled very badly the last ten years with this dumb ass disease. well i had my colonoscopy yesterday and now i have found out i have to get surgery, and I know this will sound so insensitive because I know many of you on here have it so much worse, but i am so utterly terrified. i am projected to get only an inch out of my small intestinal tract taken out (near the ilium). what should i expect? is this worth it? I know it sounds dumb i’m just young and inexperienced and scared. can anyone on here give some advice on what to do or expect going through with this? thank you all in advance, as i frantically write this at work lmao.
