Thank you for the support! Take your time and add exercise in slowly, no need to rush and cause unnecessary issues. 💪🏼🙏🏼

@@EdmonJiddou I'm having a right hemicolectomy on wednesday (9-8-21) to remove a couple of large polyps that were discovered via colonoscopy in january and I'm absolutely terrified.....my biggest fears are complications during and after surgery and my greatest fear of all is winding up with an ostomy.

I just had this done too, a week ago,how’s recovery going for you?

@Dustin I just had mine done 2 weeks ago, same reasons diverticulitis for the last 6 years, prayers to you you should be fine🤙🏼👏🏻

@Dustin how are you doing?

Had the same on the 18 October 2023 it 6 mouths now and am back to exercise

I have UC and I’m having the worse flare in my life. I have thought about speaking to my doctor about having the surgery. Did you have to wear a bag?

God bless you

@@independently_ Satan will cure your soul 🥰

​@@ShamekaLewisMcKinnon did you get the surgery? Im currently about a month and a half into the worst flare of my life and considering the surgery too

Hello! I know how you feel and I can tell you it gets better, trust in the experts call and have the section removed, I’m 2 years post surgery and feel great. I will do an update video soon for people asking. Good luck and please let me know how you feel after.

Get your surgery done. Once you recover, consult with doctor to add fiber supplement in your diet. Ask doctor on prebiotics and prebiotic supplentation. Don't eat fried food, oily food, greasy food, eat fruits and vegetables. Exercise and yes stop eating gluten ( wheat products) it blend foods like rice, banana, rice crackers in moderation. Totally avoid caffeine, alcohol, citrus fruits, lemonade and carbonated drinks etc these things make stools acidic. Take good care, sleep well and you will never get cancer again.. Exercise take vitamin c and fish oil

Hello! I am over 2 years post surgery and feeling great. The body is incredibly adaptable. To answer your question I would ease into weights, you don’t want to cause a premature hernia since the abdomen wall is going to be weak for a bit. Yes I started light weight training @ 8 weeks.

Thank you! Hope your friend is doing well.

How did your surgery go? Hope all is well.

@@EdmonJiddou It went well, stayed in the hospital 6 days. Definitely the most challenging yet meaningful week of my life though - how long did it take for the pain and pain meds (including regular Tylenol) to stop all together for you?

How did it go? I have had 4 bouts of diverticulitis and will be having a sigmoidcolectomy.

Hw r u doing now

I had it done 6 weeks ago - 20 inches sigmoid. How are you feeling?

I just had 2/3 of my large colon and my appendix removed. It's been hell. Had a blockage so I needed a tube in my stomach and no food or water by mouth. I'm finally eating but it's slow only can tolerate a little at a tiny no big meals. Should be getting out of the hospital tomorrow and hopefully being home speeds up recovery I get out moving more etc.

Hello and thanks for the kind words, I think I was around 8-10 weeks before I did any real gym movements. However I was back to normal life within a couple weeks.

I try to stick to Whole Foods, keep away from the processed frozen foods and junk. Meat, fiber filled foods seem to sit well, leafy greens while taste good hurt my stomach if I eat to much. As far as weights, I waited the whole 8 weeks before any real weight lifting and even then I took it very easy so I did not get a hernia. As far as bowling, I would wait 8 weeks since I’m sure it’s a lot to twisting and pulling of your core. Hope you are feeling better!

@@EdmonJiddou I wasn't sure if I would hear from you. Thank you so much for your reply. I will. God bless.

I actually did not have any discomfort, but colon cancer runs in my family and wanted to get a colonoscopy done before my insurance was due to run out. This lead to finding my appendix inflamed and lead to the surgery.

I had an open sigmoidectomy too, it's been 6 months and I still feel some discomfort at the site. How do you manage it?

@JR CRUZ my procedure will be laparoscopic as well.

Thank you! I want to do a follow up video, it’s been a year. I feel great. 🙏🏼

Hey, sorry just saw this comment, how much did they remove? It took a good long while to get back to “normal” as far as stomach and bathroom is concerned. But overall physical movement and living life, I would say 4-8 weeks and I was back to lifting weights and behaving like normal.

@@EdmonJiddou I had my whole colon removed sadly I just have my small intestine now, it just weird now I don’t feel good eating certain foods now.

Actually came back within a couple weeks, appetite was low but kind of ate small meals throughout the day. Making sure it didn’t upset my stomach which was hard because everything upset it. 😅

Do you still pass the bowel often now? I am afraid as my mom is having her sigmond and descending colon removed tomorrow. I am afraid that will affect her life quality in the future. How is your bowel movement now? Please answer.. hope u r okay..

I don't know what your mother's health issues are so I can only speak about my own experience it takes quite sometime to heal maybe age plays a factor the Doctor treating me said that I would be up and running around in 2 weeks that was irresponsible my back was really affected it took several months of acupuncture and other things It absolutely improved my quality of life when I weigh the positive vs. inconvenience I use the bathroom several times a day with stool very watery they recommend a low fiber diet which is hard for me also need to pinpoint where all the bathrooms are for a possible mad dash don't eat before going anywhere and there's an urgency alone of times again this is my experience I'm not a Doctor I wish you and your mother well and I hope this helps💖💖

@@darlenechrist3118 thanks for answering me. May i know which parts of your colon were removed?

@@ollearning4100 I had an innovative surgery I had most of my colon removed then they attached my rectum to the small intestines so basically very little left so really mainly small intestines most of it was done lariscopaclly main scar cesarean section it's not a really common surgery I had in done through Columbia Prespertyrian Hospital best Doctor would've ended up with colostomy bag otherwise

I feel 100% besides the food that doesn’t agree with me, and gives me trouble. It’s just about sticking with a whole food diet, all processed foods do not agree with me. So I try and stay away, but physically I feel great.

Thank you! One year out and I few great, will be making a follow up video.

@@EdmonJiddou Hey - glad you're doing so well! Would be great to see an update video, especially on how recovery went etc :)

Hello, yes that’s very similar story. I had zero pains or issues, it was just an odd result of a colonoscopy with a history of family colon cancer. 1) 8 weeks no strength training, you will have plenty of time for that, just stay mobile: walk and move around, the more you do the better/quicker you will feel back to normal. 2) fiber/diet/food choices are going to be the biggest change, will take about a year before your bowl movements become regular. Avoid processed foods all together and take a fiber supplement. I’ll think of more and make an update video.

@@EdmonJiddou great. Thank you.

I have also right side cecum and ascending Colon multiple diverticulas with horrible pain and too much gass formation mostly contipation remains Today I m going ti midland doctors hospital for further treatment I m very sad😓butt happy to see u after surgery

@@EdmonJiddou I had my surgery on Monday the 12th and was released the next day. Luckily it was just the appendix and 1-2 cm of colon. Took about 4 days before my stomach muscles stopped aching (felt like someone kicked me in the stomach) but the cuts themselves from keyhole surgery didn’t bother at all. No pain otherwise.

@@solomani5959 did you get to keep your ileocecal valve? I have a pre-cancerous polyp that’s partially in my appendix and cecum and they want to take 6 inches of my colon plus my terminal ileum. I don’t know how I feel about that 😅 Happy to hear it went well for you.

No bag for me, I would recommend a colonoscopy to have the doctors look inside and observe for any inflammation or polyps. Have you had one done?

@@EdmonJiddou will get endoscopy and colonoscopy this coming Thursday.

I did not personally experience this, Tell your husband to get his testosterone levels (blood work) checked by a doctor. The doctor can help by prescribing a testosterone replacement treatment that will get his levels back to normal. Hope this helps.

Thank u for kind reply

Hello, my procedure was not as invasive as a full colectomy but overall I am feeling good and pain free, aside from my bowl movements being more frequent and not as solid. I wish you the best and good luck going forward!

@@EdmonJiddou thank you for your best wishes. when you say more frequent, how many times are you referring to? also is the stool always loose ?

Scars a cool. 😅

I had something similar to what you're talking about when I had emergency surgery for a twisted bowel. I had to spend 12 hours in ICU having blood thinners and they said it was due to a drop in blood pressure during the surgery. The blood thinners are to avoid a stroke.

Getting your entire colon removed would be a bit aggressive, I do not recommend that. With that said, color issues are frustrating and even a year after surgery I am feeling the effects of 1foot of colon removed.

@@EdmonJiddou do you still feel any inflammation or not? And did you have to wear a stoma bag or you didn't? I'm asking alot of questions to know what to somewhat expect if I do get the surgery however I know that everyone body is different from each other. But I just want to find out the side effects of after the surgery and my doctor told me that it's my left side of my colon with mild inflammation but I'm definitely not gonna wait too long especially like I said colon cancer is what my dad had when he died

@@latonyataylor3461 no inflammation, but I do have to watch what I eat. Most things go right through me. My surgery was around the cecum so I didn’t have to do the bag thing.

@@EdmonJiddou ok your so bless I'm praying that everything will be a positive outlook on my end as well

@@latonyataylor3461 keep me updated on your outcome, good luck and stay positive! Keep moving after surgery that’s the best thing for healing. And if you smoke, I would stop immediately.

Nah, staple removal is almost nothing since the wound is still numb to the touch. Kind of a light pinching feeling.

I had the same thing a few days ago. The pain subsides after a few days. Eat some fruit like avocado for fast healing.I hope you Will get well soon

@@yonastamirat9502 anything for the gas? My stomachs rumbling in pain

@@brieestar0307 It is expected after anastomosis was done and it takes time to let go

Try belching to relieve the built up gas, walking around as much as possible helps gas work itself out of your system.

Yes, appendix is part of the cecum and it was all removed.

@@EdmonJiddou i have Crohn disease too, and i think i will be operated like you

@@EdmonJiddou snap !! Got 2 MRIs next week and I think ultimately this is what will happen. My crohns is also terminal ileum- pain is all appendix area and above x

@@EdmonJiddou I have the same exact surgery done rn I’m on day 3, I just ate toast today for the first time & stomach feels okay for now but damn this is he’s also the staples they put hurt

@@brieestar0307 the more you get up and move around the better you will feel. The staples were uncomfortable but those will be removed in around 10 days. I am 2 years out from mine and things are back to normal besides avoiding certain foods.

Hello, no bag needed. My surgery was located around the secum and appendix and did not need one. Just cut and attach.

Absolutely man, ejiddou@gmail.com that sounds like a pretty drastic move for colitis, that’s very realistic to live with and not have to remove the colon. Hit me up.

I was dealing with a stomach ulcer caused by an H pylori infection (it's a nasty infection that, trust me you don't want to contract) and when they did a colonoscopy to make the diagnosis back in january (along with an endoscopy which detected the ulcer) is when they found four polyps in my colon....they removed two with the scope but the other two need to be surgically removed hence the reason for the upcoming right hemicolectomy procedure coming up this week.
