That sounds terrible. I have not had surgery. My son has. He had diverticulitis with perforation of the bowel. His surgery was an emergency. They were able to clean him up and remove what they needed to and put him back together without colostomy. He was 28 years old at the time. The good news is he felt much better after recovery. I am sure you have a difficult road ahead and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the support and well wishes.

That's too bad that your son had to go through this at such a young age.
The fact that my diverticulitis perforated the bladder is in some ways a good thing . 1) I didn't need to be rushed to emergency.
2) Even though the wait for surgery has been debilitating, the surgeon that is due to work on me is a 5 star review/ expert at Robotic Assisted Surgery . Fingers crossed....
