### Human:\nmy friend is facing removal of about two feet of her colon and i was wondering what she can expect afterward?\n\n### Assistant: this is a difficult question to answer as it will all depend on how things go. your friend may need to change some things initially during the recovery period. however there is a very good chance that she will have no long lasting effects from the surgery (though this somewhat depends on what part of the colon is going to be removed). i would recommend that your friend talk to her surgeon to be sure she knows what to look out for.
