I am 11 day post-op, I'm still a little sore and having gas pains I'm taking Gas-X per my surgeon and it works, I becamed constipated yesterday and I took 2 tbsps of MOM. with water it taking a long time to work. But other than that I am doing fine, Still changing bandgages from my J-P drain that was removed last Wed. the fluids are very little pink. My Surgeon told me it could be another week before it closes completely and stop draining. I have a total weight loss of 8lbs.
