My surgeon recommended Miralax to my mother when she had trouble going and passing gas after her surgery.

It worked like a charm and she never had trouble again. But it is NOT immediate. It takes a couple of days to work.

I have used it probably twice a year since my surgery if I feel like I'm getting "backed up" or having a few days where I can't go for whatever reason. It always works for me no trouble. It's the just WAITING for it to work that sucks. LOL (Oh... and the way you have to disolve it in liquid... imho there's no hiding that thickness which grosses me out too. lol)

Good luck!

Keep in mind I am pre op, but do have a band. I go through times when I remember and drink it in my coffee every morning. Everyone is correct it isn't quick but if you use it daily it can help you be pretty regular. But I was wondering myself if after rny we could use it.

I don't notice it in my coffee at all.

reminds me think I need to go add some, been having some trouble myself lately. Lol

Years ago when you would hear ADULTS talk about their bowel movements or lack there of, I thought that was the strangest thing, don't think it is strange now. A person has to poop just has to.

I have had miserable Constipation since rny in May. Dr recommended miralax after suffering for 3 months. It took 4 days but it works well. I just dont know how to get off. I suddenly feel so much better I do not want to stop. It has made me so much lighter feeling and I suddenly felt thinner. Crazy eh,

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
