You know ... i cant say i am 100% back to the way i was before the bowel resection ,
but i was very fit and never has a bowel issue , i just did a bowel test and they said i had 2 plops one had to be removed by surgery as it was flat , all in all it took about 1 year to be the way i am now , tummy never flat any more , bit sentitive if i touch some times . but i can eat anything and never had issue with food or problem bowel. moments thank god ,,, i think the wound infection set me back , vac machine for weeks , and as doc told me it would be key whole , ended up full surgery. , so. its. now two. years all ok , cant were. jeans or anything tight on tummy and cant get tummy down , .... but i. am 63 now so its hard , good luck. it wont take you as long every one differs , warm. wishes
