So, if somebody tells me the items below are all to be expected, I will feel better (but only the truth please!) - Here we go:
1) Pain under the ribcage and in upper stomach area everytime I drink water - I am told it is gas and it goes eventually? If this continues I am going to call BP or Conoco and see if they want to drill.
