Cheers for the info pal. I knew this bollocks of 6 week heal time was twaddle. My body is knackered, my stomach looks like I've fought a heavy weight boxer, there's no bloody way a person can be back to normal in that time frame. I'm giving it a year at minimum.

Today I'm in a lot of pain. Had two doses of pain meds. I told the doc I'd do without and he told me that's literally insane. He was right. I need them for now. I'm taking miralax at bedtime to offset the opiate constipation.

Is anyone's exit cite for their extraction directly above their privates? My incision there is about 3 or so inches. The robot arm must have really been busy in that incision, because I'm black, blue, and yellow. In fact the top of my penid is bruised with noticeable swelling around my testicles. I was told the bruising moves down and this is to be expected.. not by me I can tell ya😆😆. Anyway, this whole ordeal royally sucks lads.

Jacob, I believe that 3" incision is where they removed the colon and not for the robotic arm. With the robot OR with regular Lap surgery the scope usually goes through the belly button, which for me was very bruised and still is after 3 months.
