Sorry you are going through that. No, I did not have any surgery. I have been managing with diet and hydration. Having daily bowel movements without laxative use other than prune juice. It is concerning that you have had a significant obstruction, so in my opinion, I would follow the advice of the colorectal surgeon. From my understanding, the laparoscopic sigmoid resection has a short healing time and is a well tolerated procedure. Wishing you the best of luck.
