Hi everyone! I had my 3 month update with my Surgeon. All is well. Yes it will take some time for this belly to go down. She was concerned when I told her I lost 20lb weight loss. She asked was it intentional?
I told her after the surgery I couldn’t eat much and I continued to use small plates. She asked when do I see the Oncologist again I said in 3 months. They found a half pinky nail size polyp on my kidney and it’s being monitored. If it gets any larger they Will remove.

She said the irregular bowel movement is normal until my body gets used to the “new size of my colon”. I had foot of my colon removed. She mentioned to my sister after the surgery that the polyp removed was larger than the 8 cm originally thought.

She said I had a muscle spasm this weekend when I lifted a big bag of ice. I mentioned the pain I felt and she said that’s what is was.

Sorry for such a long post. I wanted to give the most in depth update.

If I was supposed to ask her something else I forgot LOL

Good luck to all of us!!!

Thank you all for giving the me the opportunity to be apart of such an informative group!!!

Really appreciate the update TBillz. You must be grateful that your surgeon investigated the weight loss further. The kidney polyp may never cause any issues, but it’s good that it is being monitored.
