Post Op 2 Months Constipation With Red Nlood



Recommended Posts

Hi all. In a little concerned. Yesterday and today I've had bouts of Constipation and both times when I finally passed a rather dry and medium bulky stool, there have been some clots of red, mucousy blood. Both times I've had to really push hard for almost an hour to pass the stool. Is this moal or should I be concerned?

you need a laxative for sure and you need to get with your doctor, even if there was blood could be you tore humm your hole a bit. but being with mucus and clot, i would get with a doctor soon and get some prepartion H, but seriously Fiber is your friend forever

Definitely better to ask than not. Red blood indicates fresh blood so probably from all the straining. Blood higher in the tract would be dark or black. A stool softener daily to keep it soft and a laxative as needed to help move things along is a good idea. Of course hydration is important too. You should be fine but if it continues call your doctor.

After you check with your doctor you may want to start drinking a herbal tea called Smooth Move. I drink it about every other evening. It really helps.

      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?
