Skypup!
Great news! I haven't had two-stage resection but I will say this: liver resection was easier than my others, my abdominal surgeries. I did spend two nights in the step down unit (I guess like the ICU junior) and needed a blood transfusion. But then just two nights in a regular room, and home! I was more exhausted after liver surgery (would sleep 10pm til 9 am!) but it was good, solid, restorative sleep! Physically and mentally it was a better recovery. I had it November 4th (a little over 2 months after HIPEC, less than two month after abcesses clean out and ostomy surgery) but by Christmas I had a dinner party at my home, did all the cooking, had some wine, and stayed up til 2am!!!
