They are yanking mine on Thursday. Haven’t had surgery since my tonsils at 6 years old. They won’t know until they get in if they can do it laparoscopy. What’s recovery like? I only get the good drugs for a few days.
Good luck. Never had it. My dad did fine decades ago. Few days mild recovery.
In a round about way, yes. 4 yrs ago I had ~18" of my descending colon removed. Like HH said, few days mild recovery. Also 3 weeks ago my 76 yrs old mother had the same procedure and she agreed. Few days mild.

Losing is part of life. Sometimes the answer is simply NO.
So, now you both have a semicolon.In a round about way, yes. 4 yrs ago I had ~18" of my descending colon removed. Like HH said, few days mild recovery. Also 3 weeks ago my 76 yrs old mother had the same procedure and she agreed. Few days mild.
I'm here all week, try the veal.

@single_king does that mean you are half-assed?
You will be fine, especially if they can do it laparoscopically. I had it done laparoscopically and my recovery was easy. I got 4 small incisions of 2-4 stitches each that healed up fast. I think one cut for a camera, two for tools, and one for a gas tube, since they put in some nitrogen to inflate the area.
I felt fine in under 24 hrs. They gave me oxycodone which I only took once. The nitrogen they used caused some pain from the gas bubbles being slow to dissipate, weirdly, some shoulder pain that I was told to walk off in the first 2 days. I took 2 weeks off work, but that was overkill. I was on a 10 pound "lift restriction" for 4 weeks, but even that was overkill/ precautionary.
You guys lie! This hurts like hell. Every time I get up or lie back down, I’m holding my stomach and it feels like all my organs are dropping out. I’m taking the Oxy. Didn’t sleep last night, as I am used to sleeping on my stomach. They say day two is the worst so hopefully tomorrow I’ll start doing better.
Sorry Zeke, that wasn't my experience. double up on that Oxy !! Then Sleep really well. lol

I used to have to sleep on my stomach or I couldn’t sleep. Then occasionally I’d sleep with one arm above my head and I’d wake up suddenly with my arm completely paralyzed and I’d frantically shake it around until sensation gradually returned. After this happened like a dozen times I swore off stomach sleeping. Still had to sleep on my side though. Eventually I evolved to back sleeping. This led to sleep apnea which turns out to trigger frequent night urination (complicated but I understand why now). So I’m back to my side as much as possible.
Anyway, get well soon! Hang in there.
