I had my subtotal Colectomy 12 Nov, 2014. I am still very tender/sore in the center of my stomach, diaphragm area and also have swelling in my upper and lower abs. I thought at this point the swelling and pain would be much better but I even have delayed swallowing with food sitting in my esophagus for minutes before entering my stomach.
My surgery was open and I spent 8 days in the hospital with very poor pain management. I was sent home with Tylenol and Bucospan for the colic.
Am I just being impatient with my healing?
