Hi just read your post about your dad, and i understand  that your worried ,so thought I'd tell you about me ,and my experience of my bowel operation I had in 20i5 . 

I had colonoscopys ( one of many,( and a flat sessile polyp was found,it couldn't be dealt with on that day,so a linger slot waa sheduled for another day for it to be dealt with .  During the next colonoscopy,I had blue dye instead into the said flat sessile polyp, and it was cut away in five sections.  It waa sent to biobsy, and the results were  high grade dysplasia  pre cancerous cells  in the  polyp, I got the results back within a week and  on a Friday and I  was seen on  the Monday, and surgery was planned by my surgeon for the next day, but I panicked when the surgeon drew a sketch of my bowel and told me she planned to do a  complete right side  bowel resection, taking my appendix away and a small piece of my intesrine. I said no,as couldn't take it in,but surgeon understood and said ring me if you change your mind, as it may or may not turn into cancer, its a hard decision for you to make. 

Anyway I talked ot over with my family and they persuaded me to call and go through with it. So on the Thursday of that week ( the Monday slot had gone) I went into have the operation.

It wasn't  great, as they do blow you up with a lot of air, to be able to get a better view inside. So when your dad comes round he will probably have a bit of discomfort in his back and neck from the bloating.  As for having the tube down,  they do tell you that may happen,its called ilious ( I'm not  sure if that's how you spell it (  where you keep being sick,,from your bowel not working properly bexause its been pulled about a lot durung operation.  It's not pleasant, but once it's down , it stops you from being sick. I had the tube down my nose into the stomach because my bowel was sluggish, and so i.kept bring sick i was scsted to have it taken out uncaee i startedtobe sick again. This was a good send,and I had a thing attached to the tube which they collected any thing that i wound of sicked up. After a while  this stopoed,,and they then take the tube out. And then you start to drunk  eat   things  like water,cups of tea and soup,,I then was able to start to eat normaly. 

Your dad is telling you the truth,yes its uncomfortable, and going to the toilet the first time is scary,but it doesn't Hurt. Your dad will then be able to gain his strengh back,and start to walk around the ward. They will look after your dad ,he's in the best of care. I don't know if you dad had had a simular operation  to me,but I'm here to tell the tail,I got through it and so will your dad. 

Hope this helps you to put your mind at rest.
