I had several diverticulitis attacks until I was told I had an abscess and needed surgery! Antibiotics were not helping. On September 24, 25 I had elective surgery and I’m so sorry I did! The recovery so far 5 weeks out has been tough! If you can avoid surgery at all please try!

@lilbear getting to 5 weeks is rough. But, it will get better. I would give a couple of mth's for your body to adjust. Just make sure to eat small meals and get you fluids and protein. Every time you eat you need to walk.

@lilbear
Thank you.
Hope that you are getting to feel better . Sure that you lost lots of weight .
