Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?
Colorectal Cancer | Last Active: Apr 23 12:14pm | Replies (536)Comment receiving replies
I can relate to you 100%. I too have had colon resection and it's been 3 months. I wish I never had this surgery. My quality of life is worst now than before the surgery. No matter what I eat I feel lousy and always constipated. Has anyone out there had their Sigmoid colon removed? The stool now goes directly to the rectum and sits there. I have tried everything. I believe the colon is not stimulated enough so now I am doing acupressure and it helps a little. I am in such a depression that my next step is to see a therapist for medication to help me through this horrible phase. I am praying for you all.

I have never forgotten your post concerning your colon resection and recovery problems.
This has now been some time ago and I was hoping that you could now offer an encouraging update! I hope so!

Iam sorry you are having problems
Before my surgery I was very active I worked 7 days a week.now it takes a real effort just to clean.i don't have constipation but I have the worst diarrhea anything I eat or drink running to the bathroom is a complete pain.so I could imagine you having so much constipation one of the things that I have found is dulcolax chewable they work within 30 minutes my husband gets constipated frequently and just one chewable is able to have a bowel movement
They are expensive but if it works
It's worth it.i wish you lots of luck one more thing I have not been able to eat.its been 6 days now.anyone else have this problem
