WTH how can you be constipated and have diarrhea at the same time?

[Bigdogdad 17]

Wife and I had VSG ON 11/24. Yesterday was the 1st urge to used #2. Have been on colace and benefiber since Thur mourning. Yesterday afternoon made it to the bathroom with seconds to spare! Nothing but liquids but still feels like a rock stuck in there. Anyone else go through this?

Any suggestions?

Sorry if tmi just uncomfortable?

That sounds miserable! Maybe you have a hemorrhoid or something in there that feels like the rock?

You could have an impaction and liquids can make their way around it.

Read this article and call your surgeon.

Sounds like u have a compaction. (Hard poop stopping u up) the liquid stool is seeping around it. U may need to have it physically removed no fun. Good luck dear.

Called on call nurse this am. Gave her details, my surgeon called back told me was normal and wanted me to do 2-3 enemas today and keep him updated. My surgeon actually talked to me on a Sunday mourning at 9:00 am. Really great Dr.

Its called Constipation with diarrhea overflow. There is alot of information on it online. I work for a gastroenterologist so this is a phenomenon that we have to explain often! Good luck
