When will my endurance come back?

I had bowel resection 3 weeks ago took ileocecal valve and 8-10 inches. Out of work 3 more weeks. When will my endurance come back? I am so tired all the time.

  1. Thanks for submitting your question, lorri52! I'm sorry to hear about how tired you are as a result of your surgery. Was your surgery relating to Crohn's disease? We actually have a sister site, CrohnsDisease.com, that has this article about bowel resection surgery: https://crohnsdisease.com/treatment/surgery-overview/bowel-resection-surgery/. The article states that it may take 6 to 8 weeks for recovery. I hope this is helpful. Please keep us updated! - Chris, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team Member
