Anyone dealt with this before surgery ?? If so how is it after surgery.

I did. Haven't had a flare in the two years since post surgery.

I pray it's that way for me as well. I had to postpone my surgery earlier thus month due to a flare up. Thanks

Same here - had it terrible pre-surgery and nothing post. I'm only 3 months out and don't eat a lot of what caused the problems for me in the past (rice, nuts, etc) but it's great not having the flare-ups!!

I've had it once. I was convinced I had a band slip (I used to have a lapband). It was extremely painful.

Never had it again. ACtually, I thought I had it again and went to the ER. It WAS actually a band herniation that time. So glad that darned band is out.

Good luck!

I had diverticulities for about five years pre-op, and one scary long hospital stay ( a month prior to my sleeve) with ischemic colitis, which almost cost me part of my bowel. Thankfully in my six months post-op, those issues have not reappeared.
