mbiagio,
Yikes 😳 I wish you all the good healthy luck for your surgery and recovery. If you would, please, share as much info about your surgery that you know. Like, what part(s) are being removed; how many inches are they removing; what were your other surgeries for and where were they?
Do I understand this correctly: the diverticulosis started with diverticulitis forming and irritating tiny pockets on the sides of the colon...if the diverticulitis flares up a lot, then the pockets become larger and permanent, causing the colon walls to thicken????? My dad had diverticulosis with bouts of diverticulitis, that came and went.
I should be home from my parathyroid surgery by then. I am traveling to AZ from Northern California for the surgery. I found it extremely difficult to find a specialist surgeon closer to me, but could not get any that are taking new patients. Compared to your surgery, I'm told mine will be a walk in the park. I'm 65, I don't know about you, but I didn't think getting older was going to be this downright painful and exhausting. My mom was a great mom, taught me so much, except that getting older is yucky. She was born with congenital heart problems that she knew nothing about until her first heart attack at age 60. Even after her pacemaker was implanted, she and my dad were still traveling. And I act like I am half dead now. I guess that's what I get for being born to such a smart and strong mom.
Do you have to travel for your surgery? Do you have some helpers that you can count on, for your recovery? I sure hope so. I would loan you the very bestest helper ever, my hubby, but he will be busy taking care of me😇
Best wishes, ShelleyW

Good luck with the surgery. I wish you all the very best. If your up to it please could you post how it was for you. I've had two different opinions from two different surgeons one saying I need it one saying no! I'm so confused. Take care stay well. Xxx
