Hi Beth, four weeks is not a long time post-op. I've moved your message so that you can connect with others talking about their recovery after colon resection, like @monicaeve @kathyoung @troyhenn22 @vjs @lisag03 and many others.

Beth, if you are concerned about your symptoms, don't hesitate to contact your surgeon. Is this tightness a new feeling? Sudden? Does it feel like it is internal? Might it be part of the deep healing?
