    #IBD can progress & symptoms can worsen. #COVID19 has resulted in delays in care and staying in regular communication w/ my docs is key. @abbvieUS created a resource to help us stay on top of our care: call 800-655-3097 for personalized support! #sponsored

    Today is my dad’s 30th anniversary of passing from #CrohnsColitis turned #CRC. He didn’t have access to #biologics, lived in shame & passed at the age of 39. He is why I do this work & why I’m passionate about achieving the mission we have set out for @southasianIBD / @ibdesis 🙏🏽

    Thank you, everyone, for the kind wishes! I’m recovering well at @UPMC & under great care. I had an emergency lysis of adhesions & laparotomy as a pelvic hernia was strangulating my bowel & causing obstructions & bowel was leaking into bladder. Onwards & upwards to better QoL! 💪🏽

    Yesterday marked 29 yrs since Daddy’s passing from #Crohns that became #ColorectalCancer after 15 yrs of taking Prednisone. I pay him tribute & thank the MedTwitter for giving me a seat at the table to advocate for unmet needs of our #IBD community. May Daddy’s soul always RIP 🙏🏽

    “Surgery is a treatment option, not a last resort.” I learned that the hard way on my very own #IndependenceDay July 4, 2008 when I landed in emergency surgery to remove my colon & place an #ostomy. 15 yrs & 20+ surgeries later, I am owning my Crohn’s: ownyourcrohns.com/my-very-own-in… 🙏🏽

    Another annual double endoscopy done! #IBD is controlled but #gastroparesis not so much. Awaiting biopsies🤞🏽 Own your #Crohns, own your #chronicillness & monitor your condition(s) proactively so you & your care team can intervene & treat before disease progresses ❤️‍🩹🙏🏽

    Day 1 #CCAwarenessWeek I’m thrilled to have been discharged from @UPMC & on the road to recovery after a major laparotomy & post-op #ileus. More to come soon but happy to be going home @MSHS_IBDCenter @nyulangone! Surgery can be life-saving & should never be a last resort 🙏🏽🌺

    Honored to have been featured in the Dec 2021 issue of @healthmagazine for my work on @ownyourcrohns @ibdesis & @southasianIBD. More so than me, this is a huge win for our #SouthAsianIBD community & breaking down the stigmas that plague us to create greater cultural competency 🙏🏽
