Tried everything, what else to try for constipation?

I know this has been talked about a lot, and I have gone through the library with a fine-toothed comb, but I am at my wit's end. I have tried dulcolax, freelax, peri-colace, senekot, prunes, high fiber cereal, grape nuts, grape juice, fiber choice, exercise, upping fiber, upping liquids, caffiene, no caffiene, suppositories, and probably more other stuff than I can even think of right now. Nothing works, or else it works for a while and then stops working. What should I do? I am so worried about this because I have even had to go to the emergency room once I was so impacted. I sure do not want that to happen again. Should I see about getting in to a specialist? If I do, I know it won't do any good unless they are experienced in working with gastric bypass patients. My regular doc is not. Even the surgeon who did my RNY sometimes recommends things that I later learn on here will not be absorbed or whatever so that is a problem, finding someone who could actually help me. I have learned more on this website than anywhere else, so I am counting on you all this time. Other than this problem, I am so happy with the results of this surgery. I am down 135 pounds in 9 months! And, I am off the high blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis medicine. Thanks in advance!
