Hi, I am sorry this is harder for you. I only have one main 1 inch incision where the diseased colon was removed and 5 other little incisions that on the surface look good but sometimes hurt and my stomach is still distended. The colon massages my therapist has me doing help but sometimes my stomach feels sore. The massages are of the ascending, transverse and descending colon that runs in an upside down U, with the transverse colon running across right under the ribs and the two sides running up and down near the hips. It seems to help move things along. That and the Kegels and very deep breathing has helped. Have your doctor refer you to pelvic floor or rectum physical therapy and to a dietician to help you with what you can eat. Cream of wheat, applesauce, ground meats, canned green beans and canned fruits, white rice/mashed potatoes and lactose free drinks and foods seem to help me. And smaller, more frequent meals. The Culturelle probiotic and Benefiber help a lot and the enzymes from Whole Foods might help you with gas.
I had pain at the resection for a couple of months and it always went with gas and was told that even the pain right under my rib was from gas in the colon there. Felt like a heart attack once.

And don’t be depressed. The recovery from this fairly invasive surgery can take a long time, even a year or more. The internet makes you feel like you should be fine to go back to work in two weeks. NOT!
