Miralax is the best because putting as much benefiber in liquids to get enough Fiber gives me horrible gas.

I think I get stopped up by Protein shakes but it's a toss up.... constipated or losing hair? Hmmmm.... now what should I choose?

Not even a choice! LOL

I would rather need an enema than a wig! :redface1:

OK this may be a stupid question, but how often should you go. I am now at once a week bu don't feel uncomfortable at all. I try eating Beans every so often to help, but it doesn't do much.

I have to ditto the Miralax. It's so easy to put in coffee or Water or any liquid or sprinkle in your food. I know it's more challenging when only drinking 1 oz every 30 minutes like I was in the beginning. I'd definitely talk to my surgeon or PCP for advice.

      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?
