I'm tentatively having my Barbie butt surgery June 12. It's not a full Barbie butt as some was removed from where they did my colectomy but the last few cm, lymph nodes and tissues will be removed and well I get the Barbie butt stitch. Family wants to visit around July 1 or July 4, will I be up for company? After my partial proctectomy and full colectomy with ileostomy I had family I think 3 weeks after surgery and was slow going but feeling well.
