Should my husband w/UC go ahead with a colectomy?

Wouldn’t they want to do a follow up colonoscopy before recommending surgery? How much of the colon would be removed. I had a third of my colon removed and it was a life changer for me.

Thank you. The colectomy was recommended in June 2021 after finding LGD. His last colonoscopy was July 2023 where nothing adverse was found. He's due to have the whole colon removed as the UC has affected it all. Just seems very drastic prophylaxis. When you say it was a life changer for you, I guess you mean in a positive way.

Life changer in a good or bad way ?
