Sleeved Tuesday 7/5, pooped Friday 7/8 but it was very hard to do. I don't recommend it lol

Try a 1/2 dose Milk of Magnesia before bed. But don't forget to drink Water after you take it! Bottle recommends 8oz but drink as much as you can in the hours following the dose!

I was sleeved 7/5 and nope, not a thing, and I'm sure it's not helping my new stomach! They prescribed Miralax which has never worked for me. I'm going to ask tomorrow about trying Milk of Magnesia which always does the trick!

Call your surgeon's office and they will recommend something for you to take....mine was Ducalax. It's always best to check with your surgeon's office before taking something....it's been too long for you so you need to get it "taken care of"

Good luck!

Lots of Water and whatever your surgeon prescribes you to take . Everyone is different on what works . But Water is the same for all of us. As much water as you can take in

I think that by asking this question yesterday it sparked something because today was the day!

I was sleeved 6/27 and I finally pooped 7/1. I was allowed to take miralax, and I only took that once. Walking really helped me get things moving

      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?
