Sigmoid colon resection: What to expect for recovery?

Hi Sundance6! Thank you for your words of wisdom. Pretty much know this could have been a much more difficult surgery and outcome. So, I just want to say that I was fortunate. It’s mostly the lack of information in the main stream and that “gap” I find in our medical system of service/information that lead me to reaching out to people like you for advice and to remind me that this journey is out of my control. I got scared a week ago because I suddenly felt trapped and could not envision losing a freedom I have always taken for granted. I think what you said is very true. I just need to continue to do what I can to heal my body. It’s a great lesson on patience and, historically, I am not a patient girl....

So so true!!no one tells you about the after side 😔😔😔of operation ! Mine was done and out !!
Hi -- not to be a PC Police Officer - but please know that the words "ladies" and "girl" aren't used today. "Lady" implies that there is status that isn't there. "GIRL" implies a female child. Please be a woman who doesn't drag other women down. What you do when you use words that imply a certain (negative) status degrades YOU and all women.

Virgo, So true about the lack of info from the medical industry. Mayo Connect is such a great place. No one ever judges you or condems you. It's so Wonderful to know you are not the only one out there going through whatever it may be.
MY info about Silver Sneakers is what has worked for me. It dosen't mean it will work for someone else. But what I have found is all the help and info you recieved on Connect maybe one thread will help you or that other person.
One last thing that has helped me in the last six months is I have a small glass of the Tropicana, I believe, Probiotics in the morning. I got that info from a trainer at the Y. Has really helped with some of the issues you talk about.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.
