Anyone had colpocleisis surgery? I want to learn more

I am not sure which group to follow.
Hi,
I am 67 years old. I had sigmoidectomy surgery where they removed sigmoid colon almost 4 weeks ago. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis 12 years ago. I have not had a many bouts with it up until this past February. Then I was on antibiotics and 5 trips to the ER Constantly for the past 3 1/2 months. Had to push my GI doctor To move up a colonoscopy and have it done at the beginning of April. All the antibiotics were not doing anything. Finally was able to get surgery set up for the beginning of June. . Was told the sigmoid colon that was removed was ‘smoldering’ still infected and showing signs of abscessing. So here I am dealing with recovery. Just wondering if anyone out there through this surgery. How long ago? What were your outcomes? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you so much

I am so afraid of the surgery that I am rescheduling it and getting a second opinion
