Hi Emma!<br>My name is Melina and I'm 16 years
old. Your story sounds so familiar to mine! I was
diagnosed when I was 13 and unfortunately the UC was so bad
and the tons of meds weren't working, so after 9
months of battling the UC, I had to have the surgery.
After that I definately agree that my quality of life
had returned. I decided to have my j-pouch surgery in
July, and I'm currently waiting for my pouch to be
hooked up!<br><br>I hope you're doing well... fell free
to e-mail me any time!
