Oh Viv......... If it's constipation I know that is painful.  After my plastics I had impacted bowels...Ouch....went to the er and they took care of it.  But it hurt more than giving birth!!!   I'm 2 weeks out from rny revision and am taking Miralax.  It seems to help me but I still feel full of ** * t.  I never seem to be emptied. (Like when I use a laxative).  Anyway I hope that you feel better soon and that it's not something more involved.  Take care of yourself!

Hi D,

Haven't seen you here on the TMB in ages !!!!  Congrats on your revision.  I am feeling much better this afternoon but it has taken me 24 hours of taking Milk of Magnesia every 4 hours to get relief from the major gas pains that I was having.    I think I am cleaned out NOW !!!  LOL    I take Miralax every day in coffee.    D....if you haven;t tried it and are still having constipation problems....you can use Dulcolax Supposatories and they will give you relief in 15 minutes ( or at least they do me ).    Good to see you back here on the TMB and hope you do well with your revision.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

HI,
I've been lurking off and on for years.  I wondered since Miralax is a laxative if it ok to use everyday without becoming dependent on it.    My dr. said to use it but I didn't know if he meant everyday.  I guess it's ok since you do it with no problem.  I use to take the Dulcolax pills but had to take sooo many to  move and when I did man, did I bust loose.  TMI.  But I do think that us constipated guys need to find a way to become regular.  I am doing well with the revision.  Had it on Dec. 1 and weighed on Dec 15.....lost 18lbs!!!! Just now moving to pureed foods. So yep, I'm a happy camper.

 Congratulations D on the 18 lb. loss !!!!   I do Miralax everyday and Now I think I am going to add a dose of MOM to keep me regular.   I was also told by my WLS that I could do Miralax 2 x's a day if I needed it.   I will try the MOM and see if that works.   Miralax is pretty costly IMHO to use twice a day.

Good to hear, (((VP))))   

 Curious as to what caused the "history of gas and constipation" though ..   Did you have some kind of intestinal disorder before your WLS?    

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

 Paul....never had a "history of gas and constipation".   It never surfaced till after my WLS.    I was extremely regular before WLS.
