At age 17, Katie Hopwood was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a painful and debilitating chronic inflammation of the colon. After years of trying to find a medicine that would control her symptoms, the condition became unmanagable. She turned to UW Health surgeons for help.
thanks for sharing Katie's story... Please stop by and see some our infovids about IBD.

I had a sever form of Colitis. I was diagnosed in December 2005 (I was 17). In the summer of 2010 my Colitis was no longer responding to medical treatment. On July 17, 2010 I had my entire colon removed at the UW Madison Hospital. I documented my experience on my Msashleyls1 channel on Youtube. I am currently waiting to have a second surgery to have my J-Pouch connected up.
