Hi, I had my first diverticulitis in 2016 (ER) and as of today I have had 10 diverticulitis attacks through out these years. Some I had to go to the ER or either my doctor treated with (Flagyl and Cipro antibiotics) - or Amoxicillin or Dicyclomine to reduce spasms in the colon--- Awful meds to take as many time that I have taken them- (oral Or IV) I will say that the last two episodes one in 2024- per CT scan with contrast showed possible fusion of bladder to colon--had to do a test with OBGY to rule that out-It had not did a fusion--But CT showed it was close.
Now the last one (#10)- June4,2025 was painful - was put on the meds-- then 7/1/2025- CT scan with contrast(IV) and had to drink a contrast as well.. This one showed on the left side that my left ovary has a cyst that abscessed and diverticulist attach with thickening of the wall of the colon------ the attaching to other organs had never happened before and I am older in my 60 years now........ I am telling you a history--because of course the doctor want to cut out the bad part of the colon and remove the ovaries ----- What I need from you is the robotic surgery (cut out the bad part) were you in pain and how long?
How long before you had a bowel movement- and no bag--which that scares me to death?
What have you done/eaten to get your system regulated?
After 5 months--FOR Real-- you said,"I made the right decision.----- therefore is your quality of life better???---
I need help and you have already had the robotic surgery and I just need to hear from someone life yourself who actually has done the colon robotic surgery. I appreciate all your help with answers and I pray that God Heals your body and I Thank you for any input.
