Crohns disease affects anywhere from the mouth, esophagus, small intestines, large intestines, anus, and rectum. A person can have crohns colitis…means that the crohns disease has inflammed the large intestines. Any knowledgabel GI would know that. I had Crohn's colitis (check out the CCFA website–Crohns & Colitis Foundation of America–they have tons of information on medical terminology, surgery, treatments, etc.) and thus, my entire colon was removed. CCFA has a toll free # & an online chat M-F. As them what crohns colitis is, they will tell you exactly what I said.
UC affects the large colon, rectum, and anus only. I should know, I've had this disease for over 20 yrs., attended CCFA eduactional meetings run by doctors……..so I've learned a thing or two.
Resections are normal for Crohns patients. I've had a few myself. You have the right for a 2nd opinion at any time. Seriously, check out CCFA's site and merck site. it has information proving that YOU CAN HAVE CROHNS DISEASE AFFECTING YOUR COLON KNOWN AS CROHNS COLITIS.
Best of luck. feel free to email me with questions.
I saw no one answered so I am trying, though I am a doctor and I know of many patients who have undergone this surgery but for other reason like growth or gangrene. They do well, it may cause a bit watery stools as colon is responsible for absorption of excess water in the stools. You may visit this site-

It is actually Ulcerative Colitis you are having. Crohn's affects the small bowel.
You will find answer to your question way down in Mortality & Morbidity.
BTW, it will be helpful if you develop trust in your doctors.
Good luck!
