  |
|
| Hello, I have been diognosed with diverticulitis I am 35 and I am facing surgery in 3 weeks after my infection clears up. Has anyone had the surgery? If so, what can I expect? I do not deal well with pain and am very scared and curious. Also does anyone know if regular soda or diet soda effect this condition? |

Hi MommyOfThree,
Did you ever have your surgery? How long was the recovery for the surgery? I was diagnosed with diverticulitis about 3 years ago in Florida, I moved to California and had another attack. NOT anything as bad as the first attack !!! They mentioned wanting to do surgery on me also. I noticed that you are 35 years old...SO AM I !!! It is scary for me, because I have a 8 yr old son at home, and I am not sure when my husband is going to be deployed again .... joys of Navy life. Any information you might have would be appreciated !!! Thanks !!! |

| Hi I am 35 yrs.old and I had surgery a little over 2 years ago for my diverticulitis.I will say it was a miserable time in my life,and I do not want to go through the pain of being cut ,and stiched like that again.I will quote though, that I heavily reccomend this surgery if needed.My life is all new to me now.I have energy and pain free days that I never had before.In the long run it was all worth it.I am a heavy set woman so this made things a bit more difficult.I was back to work inless than 2 mo.I still have to watch my diet,and I have an occasional flairup from time to time,but life is nothing like it was prior to the surgery.Oh ya and yes you should be able to enjoy soft drinks.I am a pepsi aholic. |
