I had robotic surgery of my sigmoid colon for severe diverticulitis in October, 2022 and a resection. It took a little longer than one week recovery, but I am in excellent shape now and feel wonderful. Hope this gives you some sense of confidence. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback and I'm so happy for you!

I'm just concerned that my condition may be worse due to the fistula passage to the bladder. I'm mentally ready for the resection surgery, what is freaking me out is the possibility of the ileostomy or the colostomy bag.
They were not needed in your case? How did you find out that you had severe diverticulitis?

Thanks
Tom
