I recently was diagnosed with Diverticular Disease, I wasn’t sure such a procedure existed. Is it a rather daunting procedure? How was the recovery? I am rather intrigued, as this is quite debilitating.
Yeah, it’s VERY common. Most people just need to watch what they eat, keep high fiber up, and they’ll be fine.
I got to the point where diverticula kept perforating and that would send me into the hospital to be on aggressive IV antibiotics for several nights.
The surgery is all laparoscopic these days. I needed opiates for the first 2 days, but was on ibuprofen after that. Not too bad of a procedure. Basically just played Nintendo Switch for a few days while I got served food in bed.
