Total game changer for me. It took several months for things to fully stabilize but things have been good ever since (6.5 years). Calmoseptine was also my friend for the first few months. The only downside is that I go about twice as often as before. The benefit is that constipation is less frequent. In some ways my system works better than before the surgery.
