Feeling good since last nonth's colon surgery. Still have kind of a dull ache at the surgery site, but it's to be expected after 28 staples and losing 60% of my colon. But doing pretty good - I've lost a total of 23 lbs which is good. My appetite is back, but I fill up much faster and therefore eat a lot less -- that's good, hope to keep it steady and may lose another 5 or so lbs.

Thank you everyone at TCS for your your concern, prayers and wishes, and thank you Pam (Winchester) for updating everyone while I was in the hospital.

I'm glad to hear you're recovering so well. Did they give you any timeline for that dull ache? When I had my hysterectomy and adhesion surgery I was told I'd experience it for about 6 weeks. The 6 weeks turned into 6 months.
