Hi everyone ππ». I had my surgery on February 28 and got home on March 4. I am still in a little pain, especially in my bladder area. I don't know if that is part of the recovery. I also now have a retracted stoma π³. I do have a call into my surgeon's office and am waiting for a call back. I also have an appointment on Wednesday. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm praying it can be fixed ππ»
