Hi yes thank you. I know… I’m impatient. I just think I should have examined my options and treated this with meds, diet etc. He never mentioned to me how serious a procedure this really is. I had no idea. Stupid me I learn the hard way! I just have to move on from here. I have a very low body image(self esteem) of myself now . Thank u for your words of encouragement

Hello @milddiverticulitus

I am sorry to hear how uncomfortable you are feeling post-surgery. It certainly is true that being just 3 weeks from surgery has not been all that long. I have had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract and it took me several months before I felt back to normal again. Another member who has had several surgeries for diverticulitis is @thull. I would like to invite her to this discussion as well.

If you don't feel better in a timely manner, you should certainly consider getting a second opinion. There is a Mayo Clinic facility in Jacksonville, FL. If you would like to get a second opinion there, or at any Mayo facility, here is a link to appointment information, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Was there a resection of the colon during your surgery? Will you post again after you consult with your doctor?
