Change in bowel habit.. I dont think my bowels have any sort of norm after surgery. Lol.

Well done... what an adventure hey. Exercise and good eating..

It's tool me a very long time to get back to a normal kind of state. I can now catch public transport. Fly on aeroplanes with the worry of if I'd have an accident. It's a long recovery process but u will get there. Anywhere up to a year. Immodium and codiene where my friends to limit my bowel functi...

Immodium and Codiene.. Worked for me on planes and public transport for a good 8 hrs or so.

If you are extra worried like I was, perhaps you can go to your local GP or doctor and have them get you a ultrasound abdominal. Perhaps this can ease your mind a little bit more?

Was told a CT is more effective for a large area of the body. I think MRI are for specific small areas.

Thankyou all.

Thanks Lee.

It's tomorrow. I'm not too worried at all I think it's all going to be a big thumbs up.

Yes ill still be getting my yearly CT scans. I just think the 6 monthly scans are to say abit light.

Thanks all.

Good luck.

These are the main tools ...
