Sigmoid colon resection: What to expect for recovery?

I had a bowel resection three years ago, about one foot removed from the sigmoid colon area . I agree it takes a while and some patience.
I now take Benefibre every night and 2 stool softeners. I found adding the stool softeners made a big difference. It’s worth a try.
I haven’t looked back and I’m so glad I had it done. I’m sure you will be too. Good luck

Hi Kathy,

I'm glad that you are so happy with the results of your sigmoid surgery. It's great when it all works out so well. I'd like to invite you to a new discussion group on Connect, called How Do I Eat After Digestive Tract Surgery. I'm sure you can add some helpful information for others who had had or are planning on having surgery. Here is the link,
