Post-surgical problems

I had my colon resectioned (open surgery) in late June of 2007 due to diverticular disease Now, less than 6 months later, I am having significant pain in my lower left abdominal area again.

My surgeon told me that it is rare to have the disease recur. I’m scared to death that I am in the small percentile of folks who do have a recurrence.

Has anybody on this forum had to go through more than one open surgery to treat diverticular disease? I’m fairly young (40 +) and I’m hoping that this will not be a life-long issue!
