Hello @speedbird and welcome to Connect. I appreciate you sharing about your laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy. I especially am glad that you have learned how to adjust your eating habits to accommodate the change in your digestive tract. After surgery of this type, eating usually cannot go back to your previous eating plan. Adjustments need to be made and you did it! So, congratulations on that accomplishment.

I'm glad that you had minimal pain. It sounds as if your surgeon was very aware and made sure you had enough help with pain. You mentioned that you surgeon ordered a "pain block" prior to surgery. Was this an epidural? Was it removed when you were discharged from the hospital?
