That all sounds pretty positive t24 and he should be well into his recovery by Christmas x

Hi Tesco

Laparoscopic surgery is a good outcome (if there can be such a thing) quicker recovery, I was prepped for a stoma,  thankfully not needed, op is not a walk in the park but hopefully it will be uneventful.

Take care and best of luck

Hello tesco,

We all were nervous. However, modern anaesthetics made it all possible: out like a light and the next thing you know it's all done. Don't rush recovery because the keyhole wounds will heal quickly, but the internal stuff will take longer (and you can't see those bits) and they will have been pushed and pulled about during surgery. As long as he follows the colorectal team's advice and recommendations all should be well.

Keep us posted.

thank you all for the encouraging replies.

my hubbies a large guy so just hoping that all goes well for the pre-op.

it’s one step at a time and we wi’ll deal  with whatever is thrown at us.x

I’m very much on the larger side and was really worried my size would affect my surgery and recovery. However, I got through the exercise test in the pre op and got through the surgery just fine. I as home 5 days post op. Wishing your hubby well for his upcoming surgery ️
