Had both my colon nand rectum removed. Please get a detailed post operation guidance, such as diet, will you require pelvic floor physical therapy, medications. I have been periodically on medications to relieve the pain and the rectal area pressure from time to time.

I'm going to have a two-stage Turnbull-Cutait pull-through coloanal anastomosis. The procedure in itself does not scare me, but I'm dead worried about the hospital time between the two stages and the immediate, medium term post-op.
How has your surgery worked out for you?
