Hi... I actually haven't had any issues whatsoever (knock on wood). However, I'm replying because about a month ago, a friend of mine who had her surgery back in October of 2003 ended up in the ER with very bad abdominal pain. Turns out it was a blockage. Not sure if it's the same problem with you, but make sure you monitor it, and don't hesitate to have it checked... Take care, Angie http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie
