Yep, sip, rest, walk and repeat. The tightness is most likely GAS --have someone get you some Gas-X strips...they are a Wonder!

I was approved with Federal BC/BS in about a week but had to pay some out pocket because the hospital was not under their PPO. Supposed to get some of that back though.

That's good to know. I have BCBS Federal, but all of my stuff hasn't gone to them yet. I need 2 more tests.

I'm having to have a psych eval and psychological testing! I guess it's my surgeon who's requiring that.

yeah i got some of those gas ex strips they have chewable ones too the work well and chewable tylenol works good thought I would dump but nope worked like a charm. Keep us posted I am not far off from your date so I like to hear about your progress to know what to expect. At this point what is your diet like?
