I had removal of my sigmoid colon in early January. I never felt that I had recovered. Was still having pain and severe pressure making me feel as if my insides were falling out. In late April I had an attack of severe pain and I started having severe internal bleeding which was none stop. I ended up passing out in a pool of blood. My husband rushed me to the ER at the hospital where my surgery was performed. The blood continued to pour out of me. After 3 colonoscopies 3 Ct scans and 2 nuclear medicine full body scans there was still no definitive answer as to what was the cause of the bleeding. I received 9 blood transfusions but as the doctors told me, I was losing blood quicker then they could even replace with transfusion. The decision was made to take me back to the OR to see if they could find the source. They ended up removing the entire right side of my colon. Since this surgery in early May I continue to have intense pain and pressure every single day. I am barely able to function. I have been told many different responses from my surgeon, gastroenterologist and my family doctor with the most common response was healing from these surgeries could take “a year or two”. I struggle with severe constpation and even after using a prescription med, stool softener, suppositories, and at least 15 other supplements the results don’t change. I wonder if this is just a lifelong problem. That will never go away. All I know is that I cannot go on for the rest of my life in constant pain. Has anyone had similar problems after colon removal and if so have you found a solution. I can’t take this pain anymore. I’d like to hear from anyone who has a similar condition I am now 10 months post surgery. Thanks for taking the time to read this long question. I appreciate it
