For those of you who have had surgery, did you have more than one appointment with your surgeon after your surgery? I met with my surgeon at about 2 weeks post surgery. I was struggling a little bit which he wasn’t overly concerned with. He then pretty much dismissed me and said if I had problems I could contact my GP. I was just wondering if this was standard procedure? I’m 4 weeks out from surgery and recovery has been slow and difficult. I feel like it is odd that after such major surgery, there is no further follow up. Maybe I’m just being needy, but I feel a little abandoned and as if this isn’t good practice? Would love to hear your experiences……..

Has anyone used IBGard after their surgery to help with bowel function. I read that it may not be considered safe at all stages of recovery?? Just wondering if anyone know or has had experience using it.
