Um, those are about the RnY pouch. We have a sleeve.

I was going to say, I don't believe that list is for sleevers. We do not have a pouch. We have a normal, functioning stomach, it is just smaller than the average persons.

What is a fleet enema doing in someone's pouch???? :scared0::scared0::scared0:

[MacMadame 81]

Isn't that the one where you drink a bunch of stuff to get it going?

I am 4 months uot and Advil gives me major reflux.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

A fleet enema is like any other enema. It goes nowhere near your stomach.

I think there was a thread about this somewhere, but I'm not near a computer, so I'm posting from my blackberry....BUT, is it ok to take a laxative if needed?

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Most doctors are recommending Miralax these days.

Actually Fleets enemas can and are sometimes taken orally. Not often as there are other oral products without the stigma that can do the same thing.

Ash, Milk of Magnesia worked great for me.

Bearded,

I think thats for the Band

[DownInSocal 12]

I won't drink anything that says Enema. I don't care who gives it to me.
