How are you feeling now?

Is Pentasa the only medication you're on for your IBD?
Lets just say i am far from looking like that in my profile pic, but it will take me 2 months get it all back

I feel ya! I just had a 5 day stay as well. And had just been in last October 2013 for 4 days. I have many fistulas and connections between my small and large intestines as well as colon that inflamed my colon and rectum. While in the hospital, I consulted a colon-rectal surgeon about the fistulas and hoping that surgery will not have to happen.
 
Returned home from a 5 day hospital stay for obstruction a week ago. Still not feeling 100 percent, fatigue and some pain. How long did it take you to recover?

It took my 3 days, but the hospital made me stay 4.
You will feel fatigue for a week after. You should not have pain though.
 
weird i have been out of the hospital more than a week but still have fatigue, some pain and nausea. i also had an infection, with the obstruction so maybe that is why i am still recovering. my doctor said that none of my symptoms were unusual that i should watch for extreme bloating and fever. i have another follow up on monday so we will see. also my body may have needed the rest - running on 0 before this attack.

Yes, I have never had an infection with an obstruction. I have been blessed. Rest always help and low residue diet
