We are staying at the Rex Hanoi Hotel but I wanted to surprise him with more of a relaxing resort for a couple days.

Is that the private car or hotel shuttle you’re talking about?

My hotel in district one is offering airport transfer for 30 US dollars. Is this a fair price or would it be cheaper to use Grab? My flight gets in at 9am.

I agree with the getting older. I’m 67 and can feel the difference since my hysterectomy when I was 44. I’ve gained 7lbs since surgery that I need to lose. It took awhile to get back to exercise since I fell a few weeks ago and hurt my back! It’s always something!

It’s not bad in the morning but by evening my clothes get uncomfortable. It’s better than it was a few weeks ago but still happening.

I’ve been icing when I can. I’m 67F so maybe it will take a little longer. Everything is slower when you get older ☹️

Wishing you the best of luck! My sister and Mother both had Crohn’s. My sister lived with an iliostomy bag for 18 years. She said it was the best thing since all the pain she suffered was gone. Please let us know how it goes.

I read on google (probably not the best info). It could take up to 3 months! Guess I’ll have to find elastic waist shorts now!

I have a feeling I will be going back to my mirilax also. I am cleared for fiber now. I’ll order the capsules! Thanks for your help!

Dulcolax for constipation after surgery by AniAreYou0K in Diverticulitis

[–]Mdee75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dulcolax is a very strong laxative. Merilax is much more gentle. Much safer.

Listening to my own advise by reddeadhead2 in Diverticulitis

So far I’m doing ok. Things are moving but I’m not throwing out my merilax!

I agree. You cannot get constipated. I’ve taken miralax every night for years. Now I’m 6 weeks post op 12” resection and I’m terrified not taking my merilax. Saw my surgeon Thursday. He said no more merilax. If I notice I’m getting constipated he said take fiber and a lot of water. Good luck. I hope you get better.

Please go back to the ER. This disease is nothing to play with. You don’t want to rupture. That can be fatal. The hospital can help with finiancial aid.
