If its really bad you may want to go to the drugstore and buy a fleets enema <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I have never had an enema before... Kinda scared to do that but if something doesn't happen by tomorrow night I'll have no choice...

You could try a glycerin suppository before an enema if you want to try that. Lotsa people have good results with that. If it doesn't work, could follow up with the fleets

I know it's no fun.. I had some terrible times in the beginning with Constipation.

You just want to be careful to not let it go to long and get impacted..

Please don't wait till tomorrow night. If you want to try something I would put a rubber glove or better yet have someone else put the glove on and GENTLY help things along. I know this sounds gross but it will help. I would also use some type of Water based lubricant. (This is only if the u-know-what is knocking at the exit door). Probably TMI but from my own experience it does work.

A glycerin supository will soften the chute enough to get things moving if it hurting that bad. Then you can work on the fiber, etc.

Miralax works for me within 24 hrs. You might want to call your doctor and see what they recommend. For maintenance, daily Benefiber is an option (or veggies once you are cleared). Water is extremely important--more than you think you can drink to keep things moving. If you are severely distressed, check with doctor's office about an enema or something like Go Lightly. Don't do either without dr's approval though. Hope you feel better soon.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
