O M G is all I can say. You have to trust me on this one to those of you pre-ops..... WAY BEYOND my wildest imaginations. Yesterday was really really really really bad. I cannot even begin to go into detail. If there are any of you pre-ops who need more info, please ask and I'll tell you.

Nov 26, 2008 - So sorry you had to go through that - though the close-up on the latex gloves was pretty funny. Live and learn, right? I'm sure you'll be getting in enough fiber each day from now on :)

Nov 26, 2008 - I am pre-op, and I don't remember anything in any paperwork or any of the classes about Benefiber, or stool softeners, or any problems that might occur..... You have me scared !!! O M G is right !!!

Nov 26, 2008 - I'm so sorry you had to go thru that, I did too! I ended up in the emergency room & they thought it was diverticulitis. I did a video on it, as a warning to others because I ended up getting an infection in my colon as a result (extremely painful). I now take a stool softener every day weather I need it or not & have incorporated fiber in my diet! Glad you are feeling better today... Fab

Nov 26, 2008 - Girl I am right there with you! I still dont take the benefiber and I have been through what you went through more than once but then I will be ok so I forget!!! I STILL have the problem at least once a week and you are right its terrible. I have been using milk of magnesia which is gross but it works. So, ohhh my I know I know!! I am glad you are feeling better today.

Nov 26, 2008 - FABY!!! I know, I remember that video you made and I even commented about how they went over all of that with me! AND OMG can you believe I didn't take the advice for the first 2 weeks? I guess I thought since I wasn't taking much in I couldn't have problems with that anytime soon. BOY WAS I EVER WRONG! But I sure did learn my lesson! lol.

Imagine a BRICK trying to come down and it won't! I was so scared I'd pop my stitches... it was HELL...PURE HELL... TWO HOURS OF HELL...lol

Nov 26, 2008 - OOOOOOH....YEEEEAAAH, I KNOW what you're talking about! I prefer vinyl over latex, though...lol. When it first happened to me, my Dr had me start with magnesium citrate...he calls this Colon Blow 2000! It didn't do a thing for me...scary! I have 2 doses of iron per day to blame Debbie
