I am so glad I found this post. I had surgery for the same reason. I have also found it difficult to find resources related to post surgery bowel movements, bloating and gas. The comments to this post have been very helpful. I am 6 weeks post surgery and it has been very reassuring to hear of others who have faced similar issues.

Hello @rucci and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum and have been helped by the posts already. You might find some helpful information in another Connect discussion group that shares experiences about eating after having digestive tract surgery. Here is a link to that group:

Here you will meet others who have also had a surgery like yours. Are you able to eat comfortably yet? Have you discovered any foods that trigger your symptoms?
