Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

Hi All, sorry for the late reply. The pain I was experiencing lasted about a week then suddenly disappeared. I'm wondering if it was even related to my surgery. I went down to see my surgeon and he said everything looked ok. No sign of a leak or hernia. So, not sure. I'm back to feeling good. Hopefully, it was just a blip in my recovery. Thanks all for the support.

I'm so pleased to hear that the problems you were having were short-term. It is good that you are feeling better now. Take care!

@hawkeye1976, like Teresa, I’m grateful that you returned to share that the pain was ultimately short-lived (although I’m sure the week felt long). This gives others hope and better understanding of the recovery process.

You’re about 3.5 months out from caecum surgery if I’ve calculated correctly. You said you’re feeling good again. Did your surgeon caution you about the amount or level of weight lifting and exercise you should do or how to gradually and safely get back into it?
