A member asked:

What can i expect when going through twisted bowel surgery recovery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. You Sung Sang answered

Some soreness: If all goes well, your GI tract should recover (passing gas) fairly quickly. There will be some post-pp incisional pain but this will go away quickly.
