In general: it is best to obtain this type of guidance from medical providers who have examined you and know your history. The providers on HealhTap basic are here to provide medical education - not second opinions. You may wish to ask your surgeon to help arrange a second opinion evaluation by another colorectal surgeon. Good luck.
