Hi - I had 3 colon surgeries last year with a final re-re-section in November, 2022. While I no longer need an ostomy bag, one of the after effect of the surgeries is a soft and bulging stomach. The doc thinks it might be a hernia, but has not scheduled a CT scan yet. Has anyone dealt with hernias after colon surgery? Is it possible that diastasis recti can result from colon surgery? (Yes, I appreciate that this issue may seem minor compared to other questions that have been posed on this site).

Welcome, @ljk200.

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with fellow members who have has colon surgery like @jbcisandi1 @sher99 @kenc @msgtrebholtz @dancing1 and more.

Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications after abdominal surgery.
