Carol Price6 said:Hello,
I’ve finally reached the point where surgery is unavoidable—specifically an elective colon resection.
They’ll be removing my sigmoid colon.
If anyone here has gone through this, I’d appreciate it if you could share your experience—how much pain are we talking about, what does the recovery timeline actually look like, and how does diet work once you're on the other side?
Thanks 🙂
It’ll probably take a full year before anyone actually replies, and by then you'll already be post-op. I’ve asked on a few different forums myself, but nobody ever answers—honestly, what is wrong with us? You might find some info regarding ulcerative colitis, and I did find some experiences there, even though our diagnoses aren't quite the same. That international forum is okay, but what we really need is advice or firsthand experience from someone right here in the States, since none of us can just fly out to get surgery in some fancy hospital in London or Tokyo. Maybe we'll get lucky. Take care, Carol Price6.
