I hope to put some of your anxiety to rest. Compared to your first surgery
the second will be vastly easier. Mainly because you are in far better
health now and the incision will be about half the size of the first one.
It will take some weeks though before you regain normal bowel movements.
But you'll be back on your feet in 4 weeks or less and easily able to get
around and live a normal life while the rest of you heals up.
