Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

Hello I am 72 and had colon resection surgery in January for Diverticulosis also . Took me 3 months to recover but I am a slow healer . It left me with scar tissue on my left side. It is very painful . It is now August and I am still dealing with it daily . Doctors told me same thing they told you . My mistake was not asking a lot of questions. It is a very scary operation . I then had to have Gallbladder surgery on June 9th . Still having bad parents n on right side where surgery was done !!! I have been in constant pain since January 27th and I have vowed to never have another operation . Have appointment with Gastric Dr and Pain Management. So tired of dealing with the pain no kind of quality of life but thankful to God for His guiding hand everyday ! Hope you make the right decision. Wish I could be of more help to you . It is a tough surgery at least it was for me !!

I asked so many questions... I even canceled my operation at one point. I am now scheduled to have it done this Monday, August 31, 2020. I got to a point where I had to leave it in God's hands. The surgeons will not force you to do anything. It is left up to you, on what will be done. One option is to do nothing. The other option is to try and have the issue fixed. I have prayed for days and nights and finally came to the conclusion to try and have issue fixed, before it gets worse. I am now at peace with my decision and pray for a full and quick recovery. Am I scared? You bet I am. Do I have faith? Yes I do! God's will be done.
Sending out some prayers to you all for peace of mind, and a quick and full recovery.
