Gas and bloating

[DebbiDr 1]

I'm 14 months out and I've lost 130 lbs, had my gallbladder out the week of Thanksgiving. I've been constipated ever since. Anybody else have this problem?? My abdomen is so bloated that I had to go up a pant size. I'm not losing any weight I've hit my first stall. Help!!

Use senna liquid. Ask your doctor. It's time for a laxative like milk of magnesia, use every other day. Add Fiber and Water to your diet Don't let this go or you can get a blockage.

You can also get a fleet enema from the store but make sure to be near a toilet it works fast

I know this post is older but I was reading everyone's stories and desperately need help. I am 38 year old female and 12 years post RNY and removal of gallbladder. I became lactose intolerant immediately after surgery but have had severe abdominal pains for years after drinking wine, alcohol, etc. I thought it was an ulcer but just had upper/lower scope done a few weeks ago; removed a couple polyps from colon but no big deal and no ulcer seen. I have been having bad headaches for years with chronic Constipation, bloating, gas, vomiting and Dr after Dr to find no answers... A couple days ago I became the most ill of all!!! I started having the most severe stomach pain imaginable with extreme bloating, all of my joints hurt, face is swollen, I feel poisoned and feel like something just isn't right in the intestines... Me and my husband decided maybe it was gluten intolerance so we threw out everything that contained gluten and de-contaminated all dishes, etc. I have had low Iron always but with the constipation already being so bad it makes it really hard to want to take iron supplement.... I have been sitting here all day, in tears at times from the pain, and just don't know what to do. Trying to get into Gastro Dr here is a month wait.

Please help....

Oh I feel so bad for you!! Something is definitely wrong, you could have a blockage in your intestines. Have you seen a dr that treats bariatric patients If not you should. Please don't wait a whole month to see a Dr. If you have that much pain go to the ER.

I just had the upper gi endoscopy and colonoscopy less than a month a ago and they didn't find a blockage... If I don't have any ease in pain by tomorrow I'm going to go on to ER

How are you doing? I think going to the ER is a good idea. There is definitely something wrong to be causing the pain. Also try not to eat anything that will cause you any additional gas. Hang in there, there has to be a reason for the pain. Let me know how things go.
