Surgery for recurrent diverticulitis

I’ve had attacks. Though the doctors say it’s not caused by eating popcorn, seeds or nuts I can attest to the fact that it has caused my attacks. Regardless of what they say I avoid those foods. I’ve had a number of colonoscopies and do have pouches in my colon. I could have the surgery but at 74 I don’t think I want to take the risk.

I'm 73 and just cancelled surgery. I had a bad reaction to Cipro, it hit my patellar tendon and hands, basically couldn't function. I'm underweight and on steroids so my doctors decided it was too risky.
