Just get a second or even third opinion before having any surgery.
I am very interested in what you decided to do about your diverticulitis problem. My husband has suffered 2 major attacks in the last 3 weeks. He has an appointment for a consultation with a Dr. Baskar tomorrow. I know nothing about his doctor, other than he is a gastroenterologist I believe.
Please let me know which doctor you chose to go to, and if you have had surgery yet and how you feel about your treatment. We are nervous to go to a doctor we know nothing about.
You can PM me if you don't want to go into too many details on this forum.
thank you in advance.
