Hi All, It is amazing that every doctor I spoke to told me that constipation was not normal with wls patients, yet I see many postings from people with this problem. Mine was so bad that it caused an anal fisure and I had to have two fistulotomies. Please take care of yours before you have similar problems. What worked for me was milk of magnisia. I took two tablespoons every night and it worked great. My Dr. just switched me from MOM to Miralax powder because he dosn't want me becoming dependent on a laxitive. Miralax keeps fluid in your bowels and is supposed to soften stool. I just took my first dose today and will wean off of the MOM in two days. I'm hoping for the best. Please do what you need to do to soften things up now and don't continue to strain and struggle. It can lead to bigger problems. (no pun intended) Good luck and God bless, Pete
