Colon Resection
by: Conni on Fri, Feb 26 2010

All this is scaring me. I have to have this done along with removing my gallbladder. They say they will do it laparoscopically. Haven’t met with the surgeon yet. Had no idea the recovery time was so long. Note to Pam: just had a colonoscopy. Was put to sleep and it was fine, just lots of gas afterwards.

And I really hope I don’t need a colostomy bag even if it’s temporary.
