A member asked:
About how long would the hospital stay be for colon surgery?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It completely depends on how extensive the surgery is and how long you are not able to take food. Generally it takes minimum of 3 to 4 days before the bowel starts working again after being surgically manipulated. Good luck.
