Sorry to hear you had such a difficult time with The perforated colon and hospitalization. I had laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy in July. Recovery time varies but I think there’s quite a difference between laparoscopic recovery and open recovery. My recovery seemed to take a bit longer than I thought even though I had laparoscopic procedure. Just go in with a positive attitude and I’m sure you will do well.

Thank you for your reply. I'm getting a colonoscopy the day before surgery. That will be the first time in four years, so I'm expecting the surgeon to have a clearer game plan as to the surgery that will be necessary. Best case laparoscopic... worst case open. Yes, positive, PATIENT attitude. Thank you.
