On October 5, 2022 I had a robotic sigmoid colectomy. I feel wonderful. My bowel movement are not normal like the usual definition but they are ok. I feel great. No more pain from the constant diverticulitis. So far, I can eat everything but do need to be careful if I have too much fiber in one day. For example chile with beans for dinner and bean salad for lunch. Right now that is too much for my system. But I have found that out. Overall, everything is so much better than it was. But I do have to pay attention to any urge to go and head for the bathroom. Sometimes, it is difficult to go. I have to push too hard but most of the time it is ok. Overall, I am pleased because the pain is gone. I have regained my strength.
