Had this surgery Aug 11th..I watched video’s before and after..the comments had me so nervous! Now after the surgery I feel like an anomaly! This was such a smooth and pain manageable experience! I was walking two days after surgery and was home cooking day 5..the gas was the worst part, I had some pressure under my right rib. As a man the catheter removal was a weird feeling but not painful. My main focus is not stressing my incision and taking time gaining core strength again. Hope most people experience go as well as mine, KZread comment section can bring a lot of unnecessary stress!

I had bowel resection surgery about 8 days ago. They removed about 12inches of my large intestine. The first day right after surgery was very tuff for me. I stayed in hospital about 4 days. At first my bowels didn’t move for 5 days. But every thing seems to be moving along well. I believe it because of Gods grace through much prayer. They told me good recovery is about 6 weeks. I’m going to take it easy at home for the amount of time.

I wish it was that easy to get up and move around. He made it look so easy! It is not difficult but it is very uncomfortable!

My doctor was amazing. I had no pain or comfort issues and I had two large polyps removed and several small ones

The medical staff look so nice in uniforms, so professional.

I had a right hemicolectomy 2 years ago. they had a vac dressing on my wound, and it was about 1 1/2 inches deep by 4 inches long. the operation was march 29th, and the wound was finally healed September 13th of that same year.

Just had mine. The pain after waking up from surgery was horrible. I felt like my bladder was going to explode. I was told my surgery took longer than normal (surgery started about 9am, woke up from it at 5:30pm) because of thickening of tissue due to an acute episode which caused a small perforation and infection a year ago. Also my colon was positioned higher up on my abdomen and some blood was found. The surgery was on a Tuesday and I was discharged until Saturday afternoon. I was on clear liquids until Friday. Even though I was given oxycodone, muscle relaxers, Tylenol and Tramadol, I was still in pain. The effect would only last for two hours. I wasn’t able to sleep because every time I did, I would wake up with really bad headaches. Then also the nausea started. I was so hungry but could eat more than just a couple of bites because I feel full quickly, even with just water. The drain on my abdomen kept draining so I wasn’t removed until the day I was discharged. But no sutures or skin glue was applied to it. The instructions were to remove the dressing the day after. When my husband did, he could see the hole left by the tube. This was an elective surgery, but had I known I was going to suffer this much, I wouldn’t have gone through with it. 😢. Did I mention they did 6 incisions? I can play connect the dots now because I already had 3 incisions from a laparoscopic surgery I had before.

This video series is very helpful for patients. Thank you.

I had this surgery Dec 6th. It was not pain free and rarely is. I had bad diverticulitis and they removed some colon that was inflamed. Had four flare ups in a year and trips to ER. Couldn’t keep down antibiotics which treat it. Some people have more pain after surgery Some less.

Awful horrible surgery,I'm 3 months in recovery and still have some bad pain

This put me at ease. I'm still recovering, but for those nervous... there may be complications. But be honest with your doctor, tell them all your symptoms, and follow procedure. All will be good. A red flag to watch out for. I was lucky to have a doctor that took all I said incredibly seriously, even though some of my symptoms weren't showing on tests. My mom had a doctor who hand-waved most of her issues in favor of his own perceptions. If your doctor does not listen to your input, you may want to get a second opinion. My surgery may have been MUCH worse if my doctor hand-waved some of my CT scan invisible symptoms.

Anyone who undergone this surgery should look into low anterior resection syndrome post surgery.

You will expect to have issues with frequency ( 5-20 times) depends how much colon and rectum removed, bloating,diarrhea, constipation, food intolerances, more prone to blockages from internal scar tissues. And the list on n on
