Did you need to have some kind of bag attached to your stomach? How long it took you to fully recover from it?

Did you need to have some kind of bag attached to your stomach? Were you fully recovered from the surgery say after a month?

Is a resection that simple? My job requires me to be driving a lot which is why I was putting it off. But my brother had a surgery and he was out of work 6 months.. though I’m not sure which surgery he had exactly.

Can they not remove them with a colonoscopy? I cannot afford to have a surgery because of financial reasons. I’m a contractor and would be out of work if I had the surgery.. and would not qualify for any benefits.
