This topic is about someone who had an emergency colostomy due to complications from diverticulitis, which included peritonitis, fistula, sepsis, and a necrotic appendix. Now, they are dealing with a large hernia and are considering a combined surgery for colostomy reversal and hernia repair. Their main worry is whether diverticulitis might come back after the surgery. They are looking for personal experiences and information about the risk of recurrence.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Two individuals who underwent similar surgeries, including colon resection, recovery from sepsis, and subsequent reversal with hernia repair, reported no recurrence of diverticulitis after their procedures.

2. The risk of diverticulitis coming back is generally considered very low unless there are issues like chronic constipation or blockages after the surgery.

3. Post-operative recommendations include:
- Following a diet that is appropriate in fiber to help keep stools soft.
- Having stool softeners and mild laxatives on hand to prevent constipation if needed.
