My dad had a bowel operation about 6 weeks ago. Weird.

Anyway,he's in his mid 60's and seems to be making quite a quick recovery. However,he is very fit and eats well. I think it depends a lot on the individual.

I'd wait a couple of months and see how things go. Chances are that you'll see a great improvement within that time. Just make sure this person eats right rests a lot.
