ZoeyBear 64 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Has anyone, who suffered with occasional flair ups of diverticulitis, had one since you got your sleeve? I really thought I would never have one again, but here I am so painful! It's my own fault. Ordered retried Beans today at a Mexican restaurant. But, instead of being a good girl and eating them with a spoon, I dipped some chips in it! Now I lay here in so much pain! Just curious about anyone else.

borg/assimilated 576 Posted June 30, 2015 I too have suffered flare-ups from diverticulitis pre-WLS and I have also had one episode post-WLS., although my last one post-WLS did not require antibiotics (it was a mild one). Both my PCP and my surgeon insist the flare ups are not caused by any particular foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KatrinaGrace 56 Posted July 1, 2015 I have. Mine was terrible. Ended up in ICU for a week with sepsis on New Year's Day this year. I was almost 2 months post op when it happened. Had another week long hospital stay beginning January 31st with it, gastritis, esophagitis, and I can't even remember what else. Surgeon wants me flare-up free and healthy for six months before he goes in to remove the bad part of my colon. I go for my next colonoscopy the first of August to see where I stand.

borg/assimilated 576 Posted July 1, 2015 @@KatrinaGrace So sorry you have had to endure these episodes. Maybe your planned colon surgery will completely eliminate the flare-ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZoeyBear 64 Posted July 3, 2015 My dr always prescribes an antibiotic and something for pain. It always gives relief within 12-24 hrs. This time was no different. Thanks, all, for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
