I experienced for the VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE what constipation really is!! let me tell you, IT IS NOT FUN! I have never been in so much rear end pain in my life and all i could do was pray for it to end!

I would love suggestions as to what everyone does to avoid this post surgery! I am 7 weeks post op and again, this is the first time EVER that this has happened! I am eating well, drinking well and not having any other problems! I will do just about anything for this NOT to happen again....EVER!
