Follow up from surgery

I am 1 week post op and feeling pretty good. I feel so thankful for this board and for all the suport I received. They took 12inches of my smal bowel and 12inches of my colon. Dr was very pleased with how everything lined up and came together. The most difficult and painful was day 2-3 post-op. I'm now trying to adjust to my new appetite and diet. The most difficult part for me is trying to be a mom to a 4yo and a 24mo old - I feel guilty I can't do much for them... Hopefully after I recover I'll be feeling much better and it'll all be worth it 💕
I'm curious as to when I will start back on Cimzia - I meet with my GI Doctor in two weeks. Again, feeling blessed that I'm recovery so well and pray that this continues and there isn't any complications.

Thank you Again for your support - I never had been so anxious for anything in my life as I was for this surgery.

Glad to hear the procedure went so well! Please don't feel guilty...you have already done the best thing for your kids you could do....deal with what makes you be more healthy. Kids are so resilient, they will work with what you give them...and it sounds like you give them love.

I hope you can get some help with your kids as you recover. I suspect you are a great mom so feeling guilty just isn't useful. Congrats on getting through surgery and I hope you keep getting better and better
