Lisa, if you have a dull constant pain in the stomach and lower right side back pain, and laxatives don't work, I think it is time to consider something besides constipation. I would go to the doctor pretty quick. It may be nothing, but constant pain inside the body seems like something to look into.

Lisa,

I've had some serious bouts of constipation...let's just say I though I was giving birth! I try to drink a large glass of Water in the morning with Benefiber in it (is clear non-tasting form). This has helped me a great deal.

If it doesn't clear up in a day or two, make a visit to your regular doctor. No sense in being in pain...whatever it is..

Take care. Shawn

I've had issues with this on and off since banding as well. I'm gonna try the Benefiber.

I also have an herbal tea that "helps you go" It's from LA weightloss..(one of my failed diets) but I'm sure you can get something similar at a health food store.
