  1. Birth control

    Hey, sorry you still feel bad. I've been on BC like 2 years before I had my surgery. I suffered from really bad PMS. The meds that my gyno has me on is good. It does take your body about 3 months to become "regular" you also have to remember that you're ingesting a lot less calories so that could be what's giving you that lethargic feeling. Hope your feel better soon!

    Hey all. I'm coming up to my 3rd year post-op. I've noticed over the past year that I'm having issues with going to the bathroom. My dr. Told me to do the following: I've tried daily miralax, metamucil, stool softner. But the only way I feel a complete relief is by taking a laxative. And honestly im not trying to have a lazy bowel. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this. Would love to hear some feedback! Thanks!!
