mirolax worked wonders for me

Do you have to drink alot of Water with the mirolax. Is that ok as far as drinking a lot at one time?

I just followed the instructions on the bottle dissolve in 4-8oz of Water or beverage of choice, I had no problems with that, plus you can drink it over a period of time

I finally had to drink a little of Magnesium Citrate the stuff they give you for a colonoscopy. You can buy it at Walgreens or any drug store. It will move you. After my surgery on June 13th for the first week I was constipated for 5 days and couldn't keep anything down not even Water because I was so constipated and impacted so my surgeon suggested drinking a little of this and sure enough after stool softeners, laxatives and then this, I was moving. Now 4 1/2 months out I still have my bouts of Constipation and on 2 occasions I have drank this to move me along. We have changed our eating habits and are not eating high fat foods and as much food as we once were. Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
