fling0228 7 Posted March 30, 2016 Hello, Has anyone gotten bad hemroids. I'm 1 month out and having a really hard time going to the restroom. If I go, it's every 3 to 4 days. Sometimes it's only 1 a week. Let me know if anyone else has had this problem. I've also just started birth control and I've been feeling sick since I started.

cdsjjotn 516 Posted March 30, 2016 It's common. I'm 4 months post op and I take duralax every night and Fiber powder added to my Water throughout the day . Even doing this I still only go once or twice a week .. It's frustrating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJBintheOC 104 Posted March 30, 2016 I had Constipation off and on for almost six months. I took milk of magnesia and that always helped. I drink one cup of coffee every morning and that makes me go. I really freaked out about pooping every three or four days, because before I went every day. But you just aren't going to go every day because you're not eating as much. But mom helped me every time. I did get a few roids, but they're better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GibbsGirl 483 Posted March 31, 2016 I did the size of Texas. Never had one before this. I am three months out and just now starting to go without a suppository. My doctor told me to take what I needed to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strongnlight 4 Posted April 2, 2016 I just went to the Dr today because of unbearably painful hemorrhoids. I was prescribed narcotics and topical foam. She recommended upping my intake of stool softeners and Miralax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usedtobeaskater 58 Posted April 3, 2016 YES, I had hemroids. Witch hazel put directly on it helps, lots of Water and 4 Colace helped "move" things along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassie1996 12 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Talked to my surgeon about this issue, he told me to take magnesium, as it will aid in the Constipation issues. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited April 3, 2016 by cassie1996 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lisa_85 118 Posted April 4, 2016 I had surgery Jan 5th and I still have a very hard time going even went to the ED thinking I was going to have a blockage. The doctors say its due to not getting in enough Water. I am lucky if I do twice a week sometimes. I even got a hemroid from trying to force myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valentina 2,642 Posted April 9, 2016 I came home from the hospital with a RX for Ducolax/Colace and have taken it ever since. What's one more gel tab? It's only a natural softener, so I'd rather take one/day than suffer unnecessarily . That was 5 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
