Had my 1st operation yesterday

Hi all

This is just a little message to say that I had my operation (removal of ileum, appendix and bits of large and small bowel)

I am still in significant pain and just had some soup but in more pain now.

How long does this surgery roughly take to recover from? At the moment it feels awful and so painful I know it's only day 2 and hoping I can finally start to feel better.

Hello, I had the exact same removed when I had my op (7weeks&4days ago) Im back at work and feeling pretty good now! It took me around a week to start feeling slightly 'normal' and start moving around again. I suffered from really bad backache, not sure if this was something to do with the epidural? :s

I really hope your feeling better soon!
