Did you have a Right Hemi (ascending colon) or just cecum removed
If during your right colectomy, they removed all or a portion of your terminal ileum (end of your small intestine), your body may have lost most of its ability to absorb Vitamin B12. Lack of Vitamin B12 can lead to severe anemia, feeling "pooped", depressed and lots of other nasty things. From what I have read, 99% of your Vitamin B12 is absorbed in your terminal ileum. If yours is gone you may have a problem.
