What is the recovery time for an ileocecectomy for six inches of small bowel?

Will I lose weight afterwards?

Will I feel independent after the three day hospital stay? I live alone and enjoy being alone. Any tips? Suggestions?

I have a ten year old ulcerated stricture of the ilieum from crohns disease which does not hurt me but was involved in a horrific flare in Nov. Otherwise I eat everything I want and am painfree.

How would scarring make your bowel stick to the side?

I was just informed today by my doctor that during my laproscropy two weeks ago he saw that my bowel(s) was stuck to the side from my last surgery, a lapotomy cystectomy, in January. He said the scarring from the endometrosis made it stick. He said that I would have to have surgery to remove it from there. Would that explain why I've had pain, cramping, and diarrhea when I'm having a BM since January? I won't know for sure about the surgery until Aug. 4th, but it's a definite possibility that I will have it. Would anyone know the recovery time from this particular surgery? What would they have to do to remove it from the side? Is there anywhere on the web where I can find a video of this surgery? Is this type of thing unusual? Has it happened before? Anything else I need to know that I didn't cover here? Thank you!

What is the recovery time for an appendictomy and bowel re-section?

My son (24) had emergency surgery this morning to remove his appendix & they also had to do a bowel re-section due to the Crohn's Disease that he has had for 10 years. He will be in the hospital for 5-6 days and then sent home to recuperate. I will have to fly from Chicago to NY to take care of him. Does anyone have any idea how long it will be before he can go back to work?
