                        Gloria, why and what kind of surgery did  you have in such a short time?  Did the  surgery help?  I am looking at having  surgery in the near future, but I have   reservations.  I have a lot of questions  and a little nervous about it.  I have  one to two flare ups a year with D and  it puts me flat on my back in bed for   three days!  I'm looking for information  on the topic.  Thanks for any input you   may have to share.  I am 53 and female.
