Thanks for writing. C-diff can be awful for some and not so bad for others. I retired from a hospital lab but never was on the hospital floors to talk with patients. My body is so used to laxatives that sometimes they stop working. If I at least had 3 bowel movements weekly this surgery would not happen. I just have never heard of someone completely stopping passing stool. I always suffered constipation but had it in control. Just last June 11 it stopped and nothing has happened. It is just so weird to me. I’ve seen so many doctors and also doctors for second opinions and everyone says it won’t come back either live this way or remove colon to shorten distance and it should be fine. I’m hoping someone reaches about about colectomy recovery.it would really help to get a perspective from someone who has done it. Wish you all the best, Joanne
