Post op laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy (July 2022). Recovery from this type of surgery can take time. I agree, initially it does feel like you are running to the bathroom every five minutes for a BM. It does take the colon time to readjust from this type of surgery but believe me over time things will get much better. Don’t lose touch with the fact that the worst is over and you are now in the recovery stage. Reach out and touch base with your colorectal surgeon when issues arise. Have patience and think positive, you’re on way to recovery!
