TO JOHN 999

I really dont know if I have chron's are not because I have never been checked for that type of disease. I have already had the operation colon resection for the diverticulitis back in 2005 but still have some of the same symptoms.

T8r,

I was wondering with already having the surgery for diverticulitis in 2005 and having a 0 % rating , how could I increase it for having large my colon removed.
