ferrispata

Up until a month ago, my wife was taking dulcolax stool softener every day, but would have trouble occasionally with them getting stuck and creating issues. She has since switched to Benefiber (unflavored powder) and puts that in 3 drinks daily and she says it is better than the dulcolax.

Hi, I am looking for some recommendations for a Plastic Surgeon in the Upstate NY area (Westchester/Rockland/Orange/Dutchess County) if anyone has some experience with any in those areas. NYC and Northern Jersey/Western Connecticut are other areas which would be acceptable. First and foremost I am looking for someone who has alot of experience, and knows their stuff. Cost is also something to consider. Thanks in advance.

My wife had her surgery on 12/1 and had a good 2 days post op, not hungry, no unbearable pain. Then on Sat., terrible pain. Turns out she was swollen too much that water was not getting through. So they took out 0.5 cc (she started with 5 cc). Since then, she has been doing very well, with no hunger. She has been subsisting on water, broth, crystal lite, and recently started the protein shakes. Those have been making her very full. At her 1st post op follow-up, the dr. found that she was dehydrated and had not been getting enough water. Apparently she was being too careful about the sips she was taking that she was introducing too much air and also not getting enough water.
