Hello @nouveaustyle and welcome to Mayo Connect. As you posted your experience in the Colorectal Cancer support group, I'm assuming that the sigmoid colon surgery was cancer-related? I ask, because not all sigmoid surgeries are related to cancer.

If you could provide more information as to the type of cancer, I can connect you with others who have had a similar experience. If you do not have colorectal cancer, I'd be happy to direct you to other discussions in the Digestive Health support group that deal with sigmoid surgeries and adhesions.
