Thank you, @blueviolet !!
How was your recovery from the surgery? Any tips to make it easier, more comfortable, less painful?

Thank you, @verol65

Recovery was extremely difficult, as I have trouble taking narcotics. Others should not have issues if that is not their case. It has been more than three years now since the surgery and I still have trouble with constipation and the actual BM itself. With more of the rectum removed than is ideal, I feel this is just what I will have to live with. I have not had any issues with diverticulitis since the surgery, so I will take that as a positive. Thank you, again.
