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.

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

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?

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.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
