The term "redundant colon" describes a large intestine (colon) that is longer than normal and as a result has repetitive, overlapping loops. Typically, this is a normal anatomic variation. It usually causes no symptoms and needs no treatment. A redundant colon may be found incidentally on a colon X-ray (barium enema) done for some other reason. Rarely, it causes a serious complication if it twists around itself (volvulus) and obstructs the colon. This causes cramping abdominal pain and usually warrants prompt medical attention.
Consult a doctor on dietary needs, although an increase in water intake and green leafy vegetables are normally recommended.

Bleeding during or after the surgery is a complication. Constipation. After surgery, you may be constipated. Remember that you will be eating less, and you will have fewer bowel movements. A leak or rupture where the intestine is joined to the stomach is serious and may require an immediate return to the operating room to be corrected. Respiratory complications are a potential risk immediately after surgery. If you do not face health problems because of your weight and are able to move I recommend exercise and diet.
