My Mother -in law had diverticulitis and after surgery,she did just fine. they can do laparoscopy surgery and this is very minimal invasion if they can use this procedure. I wish your family member well and they will feel much better when this is done.

My mom had this surgery at about the same age. A portion of her intestine was removed to make her healthy again. It helped her a great deal - after healing from surgery her life went back to normal with no pain and a much better quality of life. Just do as the doctor says for recovery and your family member should be just fine.
