Seriously. I can't say enough kind things about this man.

If there were only more out there like Dr. Chen. Had he not been so thorough and insistent, things would've been much worse. Anxiety is hard to deal with man. Glad he was able to remove the strictures without any major cuts. May the piss flow free now, my friend.

If you haven't tried it yet, milk of magnesia will work wonders for post-op pain med constipation. I tried colace after top surgery and it didn't help so I tried milk of magnesia and was relieved literally in minutes (it may take more like an hour). It's worth a shot if you need it and can be found at a drug store like CVS. Hope the rest of the healing goes well!
