Today is 03/03/2009. I went in and got the ball rolling for this surgery thing...Admissions they call it. I thought that after talking to them I would feel a little more confident about my decision to do this, but thats not the case. I still feel the same nervousness, and almost irritation as well, kind of like "why do I have to deal with this" type of feelings. Its all very frustrating actually. I can only hope that I made the right decision to go through with this, and I guess time will tell. My surgery is on thursday 3/05/09, and Im not exactly sure what to expect, but I guess no one can know exactly how its going to go, its a game of wait and see. Im just glad that I found this website to go to. Its comforting when you can see that your not alone with this. I have had the symptoms of diverticulitus for about 8-9 years. I kept going to the emergency room, thanks to a lack in our nations healthcare availability, only to get pushed out with a quick diagnosis, acid reflux, GERD, unknown abdominal pain, etc. Finally, I got a doctor who noiticed I had been there ALOT for the same reasons, what a genius!! He had the proper testing done for me, gave me a referral to a gastro-intestinal specialist, and within 9 months of that, here I am 4 attacks later, fully diagnosed, and about to under surgery.Who would have known!?!?
