    Re: Ever get so busy?

    I’m 2 months out and have trouble drinking my required water. I too use to be able to guzzle water. 80-90 ounces a day. I’m glad I didn’t do this surgery in the heat of summer.

    Re: 6 days post op

    I was told to take chewable Gas X. I still take it occasionally.

    Re: Itchy belly?!
