I’m not sure if you check this site anymore—your post was from 2019. I just want to say you made me feel so much better. I too have been Dr Google. I had 12” of my colon removed with both laparoscopic scars and then an abdominal scar because they couldn’t do it all laparoscopicly. I had my surgery 5 months ago and I still get pain on my right side and pressure when I stand for long periods of time. Thank you for telling me it can last awhile. My doctor says I still have sutures that haven’t dissolved too so that could be causing the pain. I appreciate you making me feel like I’m not crazy and to give it time.
