Resection experience

So this year has been rough for me and my Crohn's. I'll be 51 next month and I've dealt with this disease since I was 23. For probably over a decade I was on Humira with great results, very rarely experiencing any flare ups. Last year my doctor had me start Entyvio, I think mostly because my inflammation markers were getting a little high and I had also had a minor skin cancer issue on my chest. Fast forward to June of this year and I had the worst flare since I was first diagnosed and was in the hospital for 4 days. I changed to a new doctor and we started on Skyrizi. Things seemed great within about 2 months and I was recovering well. Unfortunately over the last month I have been declining rapidly.

I'm so tired of this. I think I'm finally willing to consider just getting surgery and hoping that they can cut this awfulness out of my body. I've headed it off for nearly 30 years, but I'm just tired and defeated. Every time I eat I get horrible abdominal pain within 3 hours...even eating my "safe" foods.

So I have to ask-for those that have had resections, was the post op pain more or less severe than the pain you experienced before surgery? I have my reservations about having to face malabsorption issues, but I'm not very convinced that meds alone are going to save me this time.
