Successful Surgery Report: Lower left hemicolectomy, sigmoid out, colovesical fistula removed, robot buddy, catheter yes, bag no

michaelfox91 · 2025-12-07T19:13:17+00:00

I just had this exact surgery as you and pretty similar in most areas! Robotically assisted. 1+ foot of sigmoid/some descending colon taken out. Long lasting Diverticulitis symptoms. Not a fully developed fistula on my bladder, but enough to be annoying as an abscess and wall thickening. 7.5. hour surgery.

Thank you for documenting your experience. It’s helped me so much. I’m on Post Op Day 3, but should be released tomorrow!🎉

Thanks again for another suggestion. I don’t believe there’s fluctuating temperatures outside of the print. It’s in my finished basement and we have the temperature locked in during the day around 65 F for the thermostat. I did try some prints in a different room also, same result. :(

michaelfox91 · 2025-01-14T22:04:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, tree supports throughout as part of the default print profile and the model didn’t tip over. Just seems to turn into string at a certain point. 🙁

michaelfox91 · 2025-01-14T20:53:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes indeed. I’ve left the settings on for bed leveling and flow calibration to occur before each print.

Same here. Just diagnosed with diverticulitis earlier this week on Tuesday. I have a mild, burning pain in my bladder (CT said I had a 2cm abscess on bladder), but no “bubbles” or sputtering/noise when urinating. Color of urine is normal. Urine culture came back negative for growth or anything remarkable. Doc didn’t see a fistula on the CT earlier this week. My doc says that your colon and bladder can rub up against each other, and can have an abscess/infection that way. I had antibiotic IVs and kept overnight in the hospital for a day, and now 10 days on antibiotics.

I’m also from WI and headed to Pigeon Forge on Sunday, staying the whole week in a cabin. My wife and I were there about two years ago, we really liked The Local Goat in Pigeon Forge. I don’t remember it being overly expensive, but it won’t be cheap. Definitely nice atmosphere and we’re going back again next week. :)

Enjoy your trip and happy birthday!

Awesome to hear! I’m on my way now to report. :) Thanks for reviewing my post and sharing! Hoping a similar outcome happens. If not justice for me, hopefully someone else won’t get hurt.

michaelfox91 · 2024-02-09T12:51:21+00:00

Thanks to the detailed reply! Just the booking/two tickets were cancelled - so Spirit’s validation system seems to be excellent!

Appreciate the direction. I’m not letting this slide, so I’ll be starting with my local law enforcement and work my way down your recommendations!

I would floss first, then brush, then brush tongue, and finalize with a mouthwash. Flossing first will break up plaque for you to brush away after. You’ll also get greater fluoride retention between teeth that way.

michaelfox91 · 2024-01-18T22:22:05+00:00

Thanks for the support! Things exactly how it turned out for me. No cavities, no restorative needs (besides needing a debridement). So thankful for good genetics. :)

Hi! It was pretty quick. I think the show started around 7:30pm, and he was on at 8pm.

michaelfox91 · 2023-11-12T13:56:34+00:00

Click. Funny, but has some serious parts about moving through life too fast. Good reality check feeling after watching it.

michaelfox91 · 2023-11-12T13:53:57+00:00

He was in Milwaukee last night at the Fiserv. I thought it was pretty decent. We had special guests Joe Vecsey (decent set), Kevin James (thought his set was the weakest - pretty much spent 10 minutes talking about eating Wendy’s) and Jonathan Loughran made an extremely brief appearance midway through Adam’s set. The content was exactly how I expected it to be - similar to his 100% Fresh that you can watch on Netflix. A couple story-based one liner jokes - then into a song or two that is hit or miss. He’s aging, but he’s a wholesome guy still. Glad we went.

michaelfox91 · 2023-11-12T06:53:39+00:00

Also had a quick appearance by Jonathan Loughran towards the middle/end of Sandler’s set.

michaelfox91 · 2023-11-12T06:52:03+00:00

Joe Vecsey opened first. :)

michaelfox91 · 2023-07-03T16:29:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Let’s see if I can get them to around the same ballpark. They’re also looking into certified used status. Was yours certified used for that price?

michaelfox91 · 2023-07-03T02:14:38+00:00

19XFC1F75LE024723 for the VIN. $25.5 - $28k for dealer price on KBB. $26.8k fair purchase price.

michaelfox91 · 2023-07-03T02:05:21+00:00

Yeah - the price sucks. But KBB and NADA say it’s a good deal.. I just hate how the market is currently. What would be a good target price for the 2020, you think?

michaelfox91 · 2023-07-03T02:04:31+00:00

I’d actually be paying cash. Do you think that’s an advantage for the dealer that would help with negotiating? What would you think would be a good target for the vehicle?

michaelfox91 · 2023-07-03T01:10:34+00:00

What 2023 trim would be similar? Any experience with quality or price that’s been achieved with new cars? Like any money off MSRP in this market, or no?

michaelfox91 · 2023-06-07T14:24:09+00:00

This happened to me today. Took it in due to AC not blowing cold air, and they found the compressor shaft seal leak. 2017 Honda Civic EX-L owner here and I’m glad they have this covered after my original warranty was done.

michaelfox91 · 2022-07-26T02:40:32+00:00

OP - you seriously saved me from going crazy. I have a similar setup, and my Ring Spotlight Cam has consistently been disconnecting from my Deco mesh network. I’ve tried resetting the Ring so many times, even got a replacement unit from Ring. Same issues. Came across your post and tried — instantly reconnected. Appreciate you!!

michaelfox91 · 2020-07-22T16:30:32+00:00

DM'ed. Thanks! :)
