Hi Virgo. This is the first time I have replied to a post. I had 12 inches of my large colon removed due to ischemic colitis I had for years 2/28/2022. I had your same problem with worrying about an accident. When I was in the hospital they have me
Pads they use for new moms. I found them on Amazon. I still wear one in the morning as I’m back to work. After surgery I was so worried about keeping hydrated and drank a lot of liquids. My diarrhea got worse. My Gastro doc told me to cut back because the large colon is what used to absorb the fluid now it just goes straight out so I cut back and it helped. But now I’m having issues
with constipation. Can’t win. It’s been a battle. I still have pain in my side and hip area. I went back to work at the hospital I’ve been at for 41 years at 8 weeks after surgery. It was not easy. I would have nausea after a bowel movement still do but not as bad. Our poor bodies have been through a hell of a battle. Reading all the posts has helped me so much. The old saying misery loves company.
Hang in there. I am.
