Hey, Laura, I wish you would call your PCP. I would get that kind of pain checked out! Keep us posted! Love ya' Becky

Call you PCP or your surgeon. Dec. 29 I had this horrible pain that lated from 6 p.m. on Wed. night till 4 p.m. on Thurs. I was in the hospital from wed. night till Fri. They don't know what was wrong, they couldn't find anything. My cousin had the surgery 9 years ago and she had a bowel blockage and a friend of mine had one , they both had to have surgery again, so don't take any changes , call you doctor. Good luck , Judy

Laura I'd go ahead and call the PCP. If it is a serious impaction it could mean more than a laxative or prune juice will help. Please keep us posted!

Hey Laura, I have had that problem too! My PCP told me along with my surgeon to take fiber pills. You can do the sugar free chewable ones. I had to take laxatives for 3 days until I got unstuck!!! and once I did I have been chewing the tablets daily and havent had a problem. My surgeon said we take in lots of protein and little roughage to help clean us out. I would go see the Dr just to make sure that is what it is and that you dont have anything else wrong. Hang in there chick Lynn

I had that one time. I took laxatives and fiber pills. Finally two days later, I thought I was going to die when I finally went. I would call your PCP to be on the safe side. We don't want anything happening to you. Let us know. Hugs, Debra =^..^=

My doctor says we can take either Surfak or Colace, which is a stool softner. He also said to hold off on the Peri-Colace as it has a laxative in it also, and might be a bit too much. Last week when I got my kidney stone blasted, and they put a stent in, I got very constipated and the pressure the stent also put on my bowel made me miserable. I got my mom to pick up some of the Wal-Mart brand of Colace for me. I took 2 the first night, 1 the next morning, and 2 the second night. By morning 3 I was going pretty good. It sure was a relief. I hope this might be of some help. Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-247-155 (-38)

Welcome to my world! LOL My PCP put me on Miralax. I'm suppose to take it everyday. It's a ordorless, tasteless gentle "laxative" that can be taken long term. It takes liek 5 days to really work so I had to do an enema. Sucks but it worked like a charm. MOM has worked in the past also. Contact your Dr just to make sure.
