21/2 years out and developed violent bowel problems

Hi, Haven't posted in a while because everything was great until about one month ago. Had my sleeve just before my 68th birthday. So now I have these episodes where I begin to feel nauseated, clammy and heart beating fast. Then I push to move my bowels and saliva starts flowing involuntarily. Feel like I will die. I think a nerve must be pressed when I push down. Now I am getting anxious just thinking about having a bowel movement. I have started taking miralax to move things along but don't want to be dependent on that. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Please give me any thoughts you might have. Thanks.

  • I am hoping you have contacted your doctor. This being 2.5 years out from your sleeve would indicate it has nothing to do with the sleeve and it's probably a colon issue. Please call your doctor.
