They taught me exercises to strengthen stomach wall muscles. Here are some pictures. I am now off my Med and using a Milk of Magnesia Saline Laxative (a small amount before bed) along with 2 tablespoons of the recipe they gave me.
Belly breathing is so important. The massage they taught me on the 1 st appointment was a game changer.
I was constantly constipated. Didn’t even know to breath out with my mouth wide to produce a BM!

Thank you so much, Brenda! The weird thing is that my husband has not suffered from constipation, but these exercises will be invaluable should constipation arise. I am so happy to hear that you are doing better and very grateful that you have shared your experience. Best, Mickey

Thank you so much for sharing these tips. I am excited to try these. Sue M
