Diverticulitis

[Denster 6]

Anyone out there who's been sleeved who has diverticulitis?

I've was diagnosis with diverticulitis several years ago, (one of many motivations for the Sleeve) and I've had my first post op flare up and it's the worst I've every had. 2 weeks of severe symptoms, now I've been hospitalized for 4 days recovering. The doctors think my post opt diet, being so focused on Protein, neglected to balance Fiber... Now they are suggesting surgery to remove it or risk similar attacks in the future.

I guess I just searching for anyone with experience and curious to know the outcome of others.

I had it two years before my sleeve, hospitalized three times and had a colon resection. It sucks! But as you know, you need a good higher Fiber diet and the sleeve diet esp at first is high Protein and little fiber. I am now 6 weeks and taking fiber supplements per my Dr and Colace to make sure my colon stays healthy.

I had chronic diverticulitis for several years prior to my sleeve on 12/23/2013. A month before my surgery I was in the hospital for eight days with ischemic colitis. I came close to having a resection, but I finally started responding to the meds. So, in this past year since being sleeved, I have had lovely digestion with no complications. I hope it stays that way.
