I want to wish you the best. So you have a colostomy bag and they are reattaching the colon back together? Sending best wishes and positive vibes.

I hope you're doing well!! do you have a rocking chair? someone told me once, that rocking will help get things moving also. I'm glad your surgery went well!!

Hey Kimlin!  That's great news!!  I'm happy things went well for you.  When I first came home from hospital after my reversal I couldn't get things moving either.  I walked and walked and drank lots of hot tea.  Nada. I finally felt so miserable I took a dose of Milk of Magnesia and that got things moving.  Then I was on to the prune juice.  It worked great but it's too sweet for me.. rolleyes So now I use ground flax seed and it is the most amazing stuff! I have always had problems with constipation so I make sure I get my daily of flax!..... Congrats on your reversal!!!......Cheryl yeah
