Thank you so much for the support here in the comments. You are all wonderful, and I'll keep you in mind during recovery! And as I mentioned in the video, I do have footage for a couple more videos. If I'm feeling up to it, I might sneak one or two up in December, we'll see. Just so many projects I wanted to share, but of course health and family come first! I'll probably post first on Twitter after the surgery, so check in there to see how I'm doing! (I'm geerlingguy on Twitter).
Thank you for all the great videos this year (again). I spent the last seven years driving applied science in ostomy manufacturing, and worked so much with rpi. Your story earlier this year really resounded with me and my team (one of whom also has Chron's) Know that it is a tough one, but I feel sure you will recover and come back stronger. Wishing you a calm, relaxing and sound recovery.
@@tsando1982 Ooh... maybe next year there might be a chance for me to talk to your team? I would love to learn more about it, feel free to email me (address is on my personal site about page)!
I'm sorry Jeff! I don't think I am capable of saying no to a Jeff Geerling video! In all seriousness. Please get better soon. I wish you well and we'll have more NAStastic experiences!
I wish a successful therapy and a good outcome, too. Thanks for the video, Jeff! Also: Learn the magic power of procrastination! This will help in ... (I'll fill that in later, I promise!)
Among all the big Tech UA-camrs you are a really special one in an incredibly positive way. No one else matches the level of wholesomeness and true, honest humbleness as well as general positivity that you bring across. It makes me sad seeing someone like you being affected by such a horrible disease. All the best and get better soon!
Thank you for being so open about your health issues, even one as "embarrassing" as Crohn's. It helps to put some humanity and face to the disease, especially one that is hidden to most folks for an otherwise healthy-looking adult. Not only that, but also doing a fundraiser for a good cause! Good luck and godspeed with surgery.
Ever since the first Crohn's Disease video you made, I've always been happy to see you upload, knowing that your condition can't stop you. Get well soon, Jeff!
@@JeffGeerling If you're anything like me, it just slows you down not stops you. permanent conditions are frustrating, they make everything harder, but a determined person will always find a way 👍🏼
@@JeffGeerling Both my brother and my Mum have severe Chron's, so I thank you for bringing awareness to it, and I hope your surgery and recovery goes well :)
Ironically, I'm healthier going into this surgery than the last three... I'm actually gaining weight right now which is a weird thing for a person with Crohn's or IBD!
@@JeffGeerling Funny thing is that I'm overweight moreso now than when I was diagnosed with Crohns. I'm unable to exercise like I used to (joint pain, gut pain, etc.) and much of what I eat just passes through (heh), so I haven't a clue why I've gained. I *assume* it's a combination of the infusions and my more sedentary lifestyle in the last few years. Frustrating to be sure! Did you know that years ago they wouldn't even test for Crohns if you were overweight?
@@soundguydon It's amazing how things have changed even in my short time (about 20 years) having Crohn's. Not only the treatments, but also the awareness and the number of GIs who are more competent at helping patients manage disease. When I was first diagnosed I almost was sent off to surgery right away, but luckily they found a few different drugs that were just introduced that helped pretty much immediately (after Remicade stopped working). I'm still holding out hope there is a cure someday!
Your videos will be missed but it's understandable. Fellow sufferer of an inflammatory bowel disease here, your videos don't only entertain but they give me hope. I mostly just hear negative things about the future and possible health complications. Meanwhile you seem to be doing the exact kinds of things I hope to be doing once I'm out of school with a positive attitude I aspire to. It's always great to see. Best of wishes for your health, can't wait to see you next year!
I figure there are a thousand things to look forward to, only a few things that can drag that down. My spirits stay up looking at the positive, and knowing pain is (mostly) temporary :)
Wishing you and your family the best through your recovery Jeff! You are an inspiration and motivate me to learn and tinker! Also, I appreciate the message of just saying no. Saying yes to everything when I was an admin burned me out and caused too much anxiety. I am going to try to start saying no more often now. Get well soon bud!
I just had emergency surgery for my Crohn's disease over Thanksgiving and am still in recovery. I hope you get better soon. This was my twelfth surgery in two years and I understand how disrupting it can be to your life. Your videos are a small part in helping me get through recovery so I just wanted you to know that you are helping people like you.
Jeff, our thoughts are with you! I wish you a speedy recovery, but take the time you need, and be sure to spend time with your family! We'll be here waiting when you're ready and able to come back All the best, Chris
A fellow Jeff with UC/Pancolitis here, just wanted to say first and foremost I am praying your procedure went well and your recovery is as speedy and pleasant as possible. Thank you for bringing positive attention to IBD patients and for speaking so openly about your disease. Your channels have been a great source of education and entertainment and I look forward to more great content as you’re able!
You and your family are in my families prayers, I have ulcerative colitis so I understand some of what you are going through. Please get all the rest you need, we'll all be here waiting for you to get back, hopefully feeling better than you have been!
I'm so sorry, Jeff. It just isn't fair. I sincerely hope your surgery and recovery go well, so that you can continue doing the things you love ASAP. Prayers and good vibes from a fellow Crohnie.
You have one of my favorite tech channels on YT. Wishing you and your family well on your surgery and recovery. We will all be waiting and ready to watch your amazing content when you come back. 😊
Best of luck on your surgery tomorrow, Jeff. Sorry to hear that it is necessary. 430k subs will miss your uploads during your recovery, but we'll still be here when you return. Meanwhile, we can review the ones we've missed to continue supporting your channel. Please take care of yourself. The world is a better place because of your dedicated contributions to YT content. Best regards to your wonderful family, as well. No doubt, you are all facing trying times ahead. You will always be in our thoughts and our hearts. Looking forward to your return to full health.
Uff. As someone who also maintains open source projects, learning to say "no" is quite hard indeed. Hope your surgery goes well. Thoughts, and prayers are a start. I further believe in "His work, our hands", so I added to your fundraiser as well.
Love your always positive attitude Jeff despite the circumstances. I pray for your successful surgery, that diseases is really not fun. :( I hope once you recover from this, things get better, you really deserve it. See you next year!
As another sufferer of Crohn’s, I just want to say that I have added you to our family’s prayer list, and I hope for a quick and speedy recovery for you. It’s really tough subject to explain to your kids, too. “Why is daddy in the bathroom so long?” And “is daddy okay?” These are questions I used to get from my kids, and it’s rough when their fragile little minds see you as their hero. Anyway, Merry Christmas, happy new year and God bless.
My wife has had Ulcerative Colitis for 37 years, and a total collectomy back in the early nineties. Hang in there Jeff! Thoughts and prayers are with you!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. We all appreciate how much you've contributed and we hope we can all give back to you in kind.
Dang, I wish I had seen this sooner. Praying for a quick and healthy recovery! Can’t wait until you’re all recovered and knocking out more great videos. ❤
Jeff you bastard hang in there and save your energy, focus on just healing... your audience is very loyal and we'll eat up anything you make regardless of delay. Seriously just do you and use your mental strength towards your body for now
Hope the surgery goes well and rest up, take as long as you need to recover and don't worry about us viewers. I'm sure others would agree that we will happily wait for a healthy Jeff rather than rush and have a poorly Jeff. Your physical and mental health is more important than anything else. Rest up and see you in the new year. P.s. tell Red Shirt Jeff if he gives you any grief during recovery I'll give him a slap lol
Seeing your positivity through all the struggle is inspiring! Thanks for being the great person you are! We'll be right here waiting for you when you get back!
Good luck with your surgery, I'm not typically the praying type, but as a fellow Chronie I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts in case anyone out there is listening. It's inspiring to see your dedication, and your transparency when you have to set limits. I look forward to learning more from you in the new year!
I have pretty bad IBS so I’m sorry to hear you are going through similar pain. It is quite impressive how much of one’s life these diseases can take away. I am still hoping to work my way out of poverty but it makes success difficult with daily chronic IBS. I wish you a very successful and speedy recovery!
Best wishes to you on your recovery and especially your family 😀 Tell family Thanks from some random guy on the internet XD I have plenty of experience with being the carer and the convalescent; my family of four consist of my wife w/ Lupus and two great kids the share my genetic disorder, so we've been there too. TLDR; Best wishes to you and your family and good luck with your convalescing and too your Family, it may be tough but make sure you remember to keep some time to yourself. It'll make things much easier. You guys have all been through it, many times (25 years at this point). Oh, and keep Red Shirt Jeff away from the monitors (The machines the go "Ping...").
As someone who recently stumbled on your channel, and in the incredibly fast paced telecom industry, and also has diverticulitis, I tip my hat to you good sir. Awaiting your comeback update.
Hopefully everything goes alright with the surgery. Sending good vibes your way! Thanks for the channel links, I discovered some new ones I might check out.
Thanks Jeff. I know you’re no stranger to hospital life but any surgery, and anesthesia, would and should make any intelligent person nervous. I wish you and your family the best and I’m looking forward to that 2023 content.
Dear Jeff and family. I send you all the best whishes for a fast and good recovery. I will miss you a lot until you are back. Give my best whishes to your family and whish them a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I will send a lot of prayers your way. Hope for a quick recovery after surgery and a Merry Christmas and a new and better 2023, from me and my family here in Denmark. Best regards Frank
Be well, Jeff. We'll miss you, but we'll be waiting when you get back! Please make sure that Redshirt Jeff stays far away from the hospital equipment this time. :)
Goodbye, my old friend the path we walk now splits away, but i promise to comeback, whenever you need me. Always walking around you. My friend i still thinking about you From your subscribers to our mad raspberry Pi hunter we pray to meet again Jumpmaster over an out
Love you sir! Fellow crohn's guy here. Hope the recovery goes smooth and quick! Always happy to chat with a guy who loves tech and knows crohn's. Message me here and I'm happy to send txt. Either way my best to you!
your vids are good, they'll be just as good after you get better, we're not gonna bugger off just cause you had to take some time to get patched up, good luck with your OP, see ya when you are ready, we can keep ourselves entertained in the mean time. *manical laughter while running down the street with raspberry pi's in each hand*
Speedy recovery Jeff! Don't worry about the channel, you have a posted a ton of gold here we can happily re-watch with fresh eyes as we traverse our experiential arcs.
Saying NO to the disease! It will not take great creator and great channel. Get better, man. 🙏 Meanwhile we will check old videos, so channel will keep popularity. P.S. Please don't break any hospital equipment when you will feel better and will be tinkering with it 😅
Any human who thinks they are something big will send God a problem that they realize they are only human. It's part of being human to have big plans, but to admit to having to say NO. With obstacles we remain human and do not become gods. This helps us to recognize that God is still greater.
Being able to say no is a great skill. People isn’t going to respect limits you don’t enforce! As much as sad that is! I wish you a speedy recovery for you and your family, and are able to have nice holidays!
Hey Jeff, fellow ostomate and crohnie here. I had the big one in 2020, and an additional surgery in late 2021. I wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to your videos next year!
Glad to see you've already thoroughly beaten the $4000 from last time! ($6,078 as I write this, with hopefully more to come! 😳) Good luck with your surgery tomorrow, and I hope the recovery is speedy.
Best of luck with the procedure, Jeff! Cheering for you and your family that you will have a quick recovery! I also wanted to say a big thank you for continuing to make awesome videos - I look forward to your future uploads (after taking as much time as necessary to recover of course)!
I'm just glad it wasn't another "i'm leaving forever" video. Always hard around this time of year. Best of luck! I just found out that a thin client can be used as a replacement RPI for a lot of media room tasks, so, guess who is going to set up soooooo many alerts for thin clients he sees 'brand new in box' for half the price because they don't have 'power adapters' when they run over POE. Have a great holiday, even though most of it is going to be zonked out most likely.
Jeff. I sincerely hope, as everyone in the comments, for your quick recovery. I think your videos are inspiring not just for the educational side of things. But also for your approach to life and problem solving. We do need more of your positive energy and humor in our IT industry. Please be well and keep us posted!
Jeff! One of my best friends has Crohn's. Years ago he had a good chunk of intestines removed. We he finally had recovered enough to eat semi solid food we had "Happy Oatmeal Day" for him. We all ate oatmeal in celebration and sent him the pics of it. Take care of yourself first, and may you have a good recovery. We'll be here when you get back.
I hope your surgery goes well and you recover quickly. That being said, failing to plan is planning to fail. Find a way for your wife or somebody else to post here if things don't go well and you or your family needs assistance!!!!
Thank you so much for the support here in the comments. You are all wonderful, and I'll keep you in mind during recovery!
And as I mentioned in the video, I do have footage for a couple more videos. If I'm feeling up to it, I might sneak one or two up in December, we'll see. Just so many projects I wanted to share, but of course health and family come first!

Being able to say no is a great skill. People isn’t going to respect limits you don’t enforce! As much as sad that is!
I wish you a speedy recovery for you and your family, and are able to have nice holidays!
I have chron's disease too. All my prayers with you. Get well soon.
I know exactly what you are talking about and wish you all the best Jeff!
Hey Jeff, fellow ostomate and crohnie here. I had the big one in 2020, and an additional surgery in late 2021. I wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to your videos next year!
Good luck with the surgery and I hope you have a quick recovery.
All the best for your surgery tomorrow and hope you make a speedy recovery!
I'll look forward to whatever neat little contraption you dream up next!
Dear jeff i hope all go well take care of your self and do not come back till you well as it better for us if you well Respet anna
As we say in Sweden “No, I have to say no. It is a firmly no. The tailor says no”
Jeff, you da man! Quality over quantity is ok sometimes 🙂
Just say No to the over-hyped-over-priced-LTT-anything... all the best/prayers for you and yours during your procedure and recovery... 🙏🤟🙏
You mean you don't want to buy a swacket for a hundred bucks? 🤣
Positive thoughts and good vibes your way dude. I hope you get better.
Glad to see you've already thoroughly beaten the $4000 from last time! ($6,078 as I write this, with hopefully more to come! 😳) Good luck with your surgery tomorrow, and I hope the recovery is speedy.
The generosity I've seen in this community is amazing, thank you SO much to every single person who donated.
Best of luck with the procedure, Jeff! Cheering for you and your family that you will have a quick recovery! I also wanted to say a big thank you for continuing to make awesome videos - I look forward to your future uploads (after taking as much time as necessary to recover of course)!
How can we say no to you? I hope for the best, I wish you a safe and speedy recovery!
Oh good I thought you’re shirt was about you like ecstasy and it gives you diarrhea …….. or something. LOL? I’ll pray for you and good luck.
haha
I hope all goes well for you! Much love to you and your family ❤️
I'm just glad it wasn't another "i'm leaving forever" video. Always hard around this time of year. Best of luck! I just found out that a thin client can be used as a replacement RPI for a lot of media room tasks, so, guess who is going to set up soooooo many alerts for thin clients he sees 'brand new in box' for half the price because they don't have 'power adapters' when they run over POE.
Have a great holiday, even though most of it is going to be zonked out most likely.
Definitely a great option in the current market!
Jeff. I sincerely hope, as everyone in the comments, for your quick recovery. I think your videos are inspiring not just for the educational side of things. But also for your approach to life and problem solving. We do need more of your positive energy and humor in our IT industry. Please be well and keep us posted!
Que todo salga bien, y recupérate.
Jeff! One of my best friends has Crohn's. Years ago he had a good chunk of intestines removed. We he finally had recovered enough to eat semi solid food we had "Happy Oatmeal Day" for him. We all ate oatmeal in celebration and sent him the pics of it. Take care of yourself first, and may you have a good recovery. We'll be here when you get back.
ha, that's great! I'm now looking forward to my first bowl of hot cereal!
I hope your surgery goes well and you recover quickly.
That being said, failing to plan is planning to fail.
Find a way for your wife or somebody else to post here if things don't go well and you or your family needs assistance!!!!
Don't worry, my wife and I are in lockstep on things... either way I hope to have some good memories from the experience! haha
Being an atheist, I won't pray, but I wish you a quick and good recovery. Greetings and best wishes from Germany.
Thank you!
