Just had a chuckle about the port. Bought a bottle for hubbie. Do you think he might notice if it's not full?
I didn't sleep much last night!
I have constipation anyway. Has been chronic for the past 2 years. Had a colonoscopy as was a persistent change of bowel habit, but it was put down to IBS. I use fybogel, which keeps things sort of flowing, every other day instead of weekly. Got some lactulose solution prescribed by the GP for when things get very bad. I'm hoping this might have something to do with the gall stones. I can but hope.
Thanks for the warning. I will ask though. And thanks the encouragement and experience info.it does appear to be very individual how you are afterwards. I think the consultant's comment that it would be risky to leave things would have swung things had I not made the decision anyway.
