I will have surgery in 2 weeks. I would like to hear your experiences.

My doctor is recommending I have my colon removed but won’t elaborate on what the full consequences are. Looking for someone who has experienced this.

Where do they make the insision? how long is hospitalization for? any more info
thanks alot trying to help my best friend

I’m sure it should hurt when i do alot of walking, but somedays it hurts so bad and I hadn’t done alot of walking.

My Mom’s ex is at our house right now resting from surgery on his colon. He’s about 50…had no friends, so my mom is helping him. Anyway…why would something like this need to be done?

patient has a medicated stent
The medicated stent was put in 11 months ago.

Did everything turn out good? No problems in the operating room? No infections? My dad is 71 and needs the surgery. Please help

My dad is 71 years old with a leaky heart valve. His cardiologist gave him clearance for the surgery. Does this mean there is nothing to worry about with the colon cancer surgery and that everything will go good

My dad is 71years old. His valve is leaking 30 percent. He gets short of breath sometimes. Is surgery safe for him

aren’t the doctors basically cutting ur a_s_s? I would think that’s the most horrible embarassing surgery there is. & u can’t even do #2 either, isn’t it? How do I prevent myself of getting it?

To remove about a foot of it because of a benign tumor.

A person very dear to me had colon cancer in 2007 and had a successful surgery to remove the tumor. She also had some months of coadyuvant therapy (chemo?). There have been further (clean) colorectal exams but I wonder which other exams are ordered in the first year or two following the surgery to guard against possible spread to other organs?
She has regular blood exams, every 6 months. Had recently (1 yr) a colonoscopy that came out good. But no CT scan which is what worries me.

I am getting ready to sign up for flexible spending at work. I need to know about how much surgery would cost. I am pretty positive I have colon endo. I am going to go back to the doc to discuss this once I get insurance. I told a former doc that I have always bled rectally when I have my period (for about 18 years now) and she looked at me like that was the strangest thing she had ever heard of and recommended a colonoscopy (which I am about to have done.). Also, I have a very physical job (I walk 8 hours a night and lift heavy boxes). How long do you think I would need to miss work? Thanks for any help.
Before anyone asks. I didn’t seek help for this before because I have bled like this since I first started my period. I never thought it was abnormal (I know duh!). When I told the doc that I was having pelvic pains I had an ultra sound and laproscopy and they discovered I have PCOS.
