What is the recovery like for colon resection surgery?
I may be jumping the gun but I am curious. All we know at this point is there was a mass found in the proximal transverse colon during a routine colonoscopy and were told that open surgery (colon resection surgery) will probably be recommended from the surgeon. The mass ‘appears’ benign but no biopsy was done since it could not be reached to take a biopsy during the colonoscopy due to the location of the mass. We are currently waiting for the surgeon appointment.

Good for you, to have a colonoscopy. It is very important and will save your life. The surgeon will be able to discuss all of your questions. You will be in the hospital for awhile. Your belly will be sore and it will be uncomfortable to get around. You will need to have stool softeners and pain meds.Write down all of your concerns before seeing the surgeon.
