      Thank you so much. I pray that it does because it's making me second guess my decision about the surgery and if it was worth it.

  2. Having a hard time drinkig anything. My throat is very sore and this gas ain't no joke.

      How far out are you from surgery?

      If you just had surgery walking will help release the gas.

      I would call your surgeon and tell them about the problem with swallowing. If you don't drink enough fluids you will become dehydrated and that means a trip to the hospital if you do.

      Take care and let us know what happens.

      Also I forgot to say ask surgeon about Gas X strips for gas pain.

  7. Trying to purchase supplements! Can anyone advise on a Vitamin D 5000 IU that's easy to digest and not to expensive.

      I didn't have any trouble finding a 5000 IU D3 capsule at GNC. Mine is a very small little capsule (I guess you'd call it that -- it's a small pill with fluid inside).

  23. How much did it cost you and how was the recovery.
  24. Wow I'm in Nj I should have ask where you were from first:-) my insurance doesn't cover it so I would have to pay out of pocket. But I want to do it so bad.
