Should I be concerned?



Recommended Posts

I have not made a number two in about 3 days....it's been almost three weeks since surgery...thought I was doing good. Should I be concerned????

definitely. Get some Fiber asap. Constipation over 3 days becomes super toxic for your body.

I am 6 monthd post op but still have days where I don't BM. Everyone is different, consult your Dr. They will let you know what to expect.

Are you really eating anything solid at 3 weeks out?? You can try a natural stool aid, but I'm guessing it's because there isn't solids going in.

Well I get super nervous if I don't go, I put Mira lax in my drinks, or if I know I'm not going anywhere, I do milk of magnesium! You gotta stay reg!

I use to be super regular same time every morning like clock work pre surgery. Now post, I don't eat no where as much as I use to. 2 1/2 months out every 3-4 days is regular.

I had the same problem. I tried a stool softener, prune juice, and finally got some suppositories. Since then I put some Holy Crap mix in my oatmeal -chia seeds, buckwheat, hemp seeds. Works like a charm

I was having the same concerns so I asked my dr and he advised my that's its normal since there's not as much going in, said to call him if I had any stomach pains or discomfort due to Constipation.

But you should always ask your drs advise just to be on the safe side.

You really aren't constipated until like a week. Your fine, take a laxative and move it.

      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?
