Im very worried about the surgery. He had a perforation last October and surgery was not necessary and was treated with just antibiotics. We were told he would need surgery in order to not have any flare ups. He’s been on a diet since then and he hasn’t had any flare ups since then. Also since he’s been out of the hospital he has been having pains on the right side of the colon. He says the pain usually appears when he is sitting down or laying down. When stands up the pain usually goes away. Is this normal? . Ive read multiple posts about people getting surgeries but im still worried. How dangerous can the surgery be? Hoping and wishing everything goes well. Any tips for after the surgery?
