Sorry I didn't answer earlier.I was in a pretty bad way prior to the procedure. I needed a whole 4 days to recover and get back into the swing of things. My recovery from the gasterional infection It took a toll on me. By the time they decided to run the test what ever caused the infection had already left my body and 40lbs lighter. So the only thing my Dr. said I might of been was a real bad case of gasternitis in the bowel, big DDD. I was always a little IBS prone before nothing real big just occassional around that time of the month. Now I have to watch out for everything I eat. That post by Heather not to long ago on Gasternitis fit me to a tee. now take tht extra day or two if your in a bad way now, if your ok you should bounce back right away. Just take it slow for the next few days. Wish you luck... Sheri
