Hello I’m 39yrs old. I had Diverticulitis surgery they cut out 1ft 1/2 out also In the middle of surgery they found an abscessed surround with puss on my bladder had to remove it too Peel it off cut it out. It’s been 7weeks now. Was wondering how long does it take to be fully recovered? And is it normal to still get pains, sores here and there. I started to eat solids foods too. Any suggestions on how to keep recovery. I don’t want to mess up just want to get better and not have these pains I get here and there I gets annoying. And I do pass gas have bowl movements put do get constipated at times.

You’re young so I understand your frustration with recovery, it’s usually a slow process but very important that you follow your instructions because you don’t want setbacks. I can only imagine the pain you are experiencing eventually that will also calm down. I hope that your recovery will go smoothly and when you get restless just remember that you’re on the better side of things now and it will only get easier for you with time, good wishes.
