I meet with the surgeon assistant on Tuesday for my followup. The surgical wounds are fine and I went back to work on Monday. So far my digestion seems normal, no D, however I do have a sort of...
My father is going through this right now. He is 6 weeks out of surgery and sciatica is worse then before the surgery. We are hoping it's simply because of the swelling from the surgery and will calm...
Surgeon didn't talk to me afterwards, but when I called the nurse she said the notes said it went well and something about mild chronic inflammation. I guess I will know more when I get the pathology...

Seashell: Thanks again for following up. I agree with you-- I have read many post in which the original poster never follows up. I will be waiting on the biopsy results from the polyp, but the doctor...
Update: Just got out of colonoscopy and feel much less out out if than the upper GI. Doc found a flat (sessile) polyp 2-4 mm in the hepatic flexure. Also found out I have diverticulosis (which I...
