Hi I too have been recommended surgery by a bowel surgeon. I'm terrified I've tried to do some research on life afterwards can you tell me what you learnt doing your research please. I'm suffering with diverticulitis.

What I’ve found is that since there are so many differences in outcome doctors actually are finding it hard to advise patients. There seem to be better outcomes for people who are symptomatic versus those that are asymptomatic. Your doctor can best advise your particular situation. I don’t have constant problems so I have time to think it over. Good luck and God bless.
