Replies to "@horthog Hi, I am wondering why you had a Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy in the first place?..."
I had a Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy for Sever Diverticular Disease. I have had to come to this conclusion as I am an ex Nurse and I have been googling it (Dr Google). I live in the UK and our NHS is not a very good service. I have told my own GP, what it might be, I cannot see her as they are working from home, due to Covid. I also attended A and E (ER) waited 7 hours they did not do anything and most Drs do not know what I am talking about. I have phoned and left messages and emailed my Surgeon as my GP has but no repsonse. I had my surgery at the end of May. The Surgeon thought it might be due to the sutures in my abdomen. I had a CT scan last week, no results, the last time I had a scan it took them 8 months to report on it. The NHS is and should not be the envy of the world.
