donna12 742 Posted December 1, 2012 If I read your post right, you were banded on Nov 2 and you haven't gone since then? Girl you need relief. After my surgery I ended up severely constipated to the point it made me sick, I ended up drinking a bathroom cup size of Magnesium Citrate to get things moving along and it worked. Its nasty but it works wonders. I still to this day keep the stuff on hand. Good luck. And yes I do take stool softeners and laxatives too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
