May your operation go successfully and you return to the QuadList in perfect health! You confirm my conviction that bowels that are not functioning properly produce all kinds of negative effects. The skin, infections, bloating, bulging veins and a host of other kinds visible and invisible pains. Let us all know how well you do and the end results. Best Wishes! W

My doctors figure that this will resolve my bowel problems, and also eliminate a lot of my skin problems. I have been battling sores of my buttocks for over five years now. I am also having a suprapubic catheter put in at the same time. Hopefully this will eliminate some of the bladder problems I've been having. I will be signing off on January 3, 2005 and will sign back on after everything is finished. >>
