Sigmoid colon resection: What to expect for recovery?

I so agree. I know our doctors can’t tell us what we will end up like, but I wish I had known that I would never be the same. I know it isn’t possible, especially with a cancerous tumor, but it would calm my anxiety a lot to know that aches, discomfort, bloating and swelling are part of the journey. I also have developed multiple hernias that are quite uncomfortable. I won’t have them fixed unless it’s an emergency because several surgeons have said that is just inciting more scar tissue to form. I hope you find the answers!!
