Question:

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes to heal, and recover after a bowel resection?

I had this surgery two weeks ago, and was just wondering.


Answers:

I am in a group where many people have had this surgery. Generally it took about 6 weeks for most of them to feel comfortable sleeping on their side, and not wanting to take extra naps during the day. Many of them went back to work after 4 weeks, but it was a bit of a struggle. Your bowels will start working more normally after 3 weeks, but really do not expect to want to run around for at least another month.
