Hello @lovablesteven and welcome to Mayo Connect.
I can certainly understand your concern about the possibility of surgery. Surgery tends to bring out the worst fears in us all, doesn't it?
Since you indicate that you have been feeling better on the Entyvio, have you sought a second opinion to determine if surgery is your only answer? If not, please seek out a second opinion from a GI specialist who specializes in this type of problem. It might be good to get your second opinion from a multidisciplinary medical team like a university medical center or a place like Mayo Clinic (Mayo has 3 locations in Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona).
Will you post again and update me on your progress?

Thank you for your reply, I haven been going over it with my GI doctor and he agrees with me about wanting to take my time and exhaust all other options first and hopefully seeing if entyvio will continue to work and do it's job. My one and only issue and concern is this abscess that I've had put a drain in and drained it, then it returned a week after the drain was taken out, my stomach feels fine after eating, bowel movements are good, pain is managed just this abscess that is causing me my one and only worries which is why I'm really second guessing the surgery.
