Thank you for the warm invite. Definitely will consult with doctor. I had to reflect on changes I intentionally or unintentionally made to my diet and lifestyle that maybe impacting my healing. One change I unintentionally made was not taking my daily stool softener with Linzess. I restarted that regiment and feel a noticeable improvement. I also changed my eating habits. Eating at 9 am and again between 3&4 pm. Nothing after 4 pm. The pain has almost vanished. It’s one section around the mid to lower stomach area on left side that’s somewhat tender and slightly painful. I will give it a few days since its only been a few days making changes. Again thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestion.

This was my experience too - even though I didn't feel I needed the stool softener even 4 months post op, it makes all the difference in the world.. not sure how long we should be taking it though - is this for life now??
