Hi newly diagnosed with diverticulitis,  spent 4 days in hospital...trying to decide to have elective laprscopic surgery.  Seems the right thing to do?  Had a micro perforation

    Hello and welcome @rwool thanks for joining the community and sharing a bit about yourself :) 

    I hope your stay in hospital went okay, have you spoken to your GP or anyone there about the surgery? It's always advisable to speak to a medical professional if you do have any concerns. 

    Is there anything in particular worrying you about it?

    Hello ! Hope all went well with what treatment you went with 👌🏻 Mine was just a perforation too I went for the IV treatment witch kept me in for 2 weeks but worked and didn’t need surgery. X
