Lifting with Health Issue

I am 37 y/o M and started to train for powerlifting about 3 years ago. I competed last year for the first time and loved it. I wound up having an episode of diverticulitis and had to have surgery. I’ve been hospitalized twice since surgery and haven’t been able to lift.

I am having issues again and probably have to have surgery again. I’ve looked on the diverticulitis threads and not much help. Does anyone else have iussues with this or any advice?
