You ask enough questions? Really?

Hi All (even Lurker Guys and gals) I saw another post on the Main Board from some one at one week out With the- "Why did No One Tell Me!!!" Post. Seems she had read the Board for months, And missed the fact that there is some Gas Associated with the first week or so Post-Op. Or that the Major Surgery would hurt, or that she wouldn’t feel great The first few days home. She had figured out how to put in a ticker thing in her signature, But failed to get some basic info about her life changing surgery… So, in order to head off any surprises for the guys in the future- A question----------------------------------------- Starting out on the Boards and Don’t know if you’ve asked Enough Questions?
