Opti-Scoots....
Glad to hear you're tolerating Opti! I went from one extreme to another. One day diarrhea and a few days later, constipation. And, re: depends? I say do whatever you need to maintain your dignity!
I absolutely LOVE that we can come on here and talk about poop and not trusting farts! It's so true and it's strangely comforting to know I am not alone. I've had my surgery and I'm still a little leery about trusting a fart...Once burned...you know!
Best of luck to you!
