To all who offered their kindness and support

Im glad the operation went well,i wish that you get your strength back quick and go back to your normal routine of life soon

I wish you a speedy recovery @Dukedog

I've been away from the forums for a while. Didn't have any idea you were having surgery. Feel so relieved to hear that all went well. Hope you a lighting fast recovery to full health @Dukedog.

Hey @Dukedog! Very glad to hear this update, somehow I thought you were having the surgery a while ago, but I'm glad to hear it's over and was a success. Surgeons are great xD Listen to your doctors for your recovery and don't overdo it! All the best and keep us posted.

I saw your original post and meant to comment but never did. Glad to hear it went well. I know several people who've had that type of surgery for diverticulosis/itis and they are all doing great years later.
