This maybe TMI but maybe someone else will learn

Im sorry for having to write this and yes its a TMI story but since i had my surgery on the 4 of oct, i mayve had 3 bowel movements. My digestive system was already slow before i had the surgery but now its really bad. Its acting like nothing in and nothing coming out. I suffer from IBS with constipation and omg, it has gotten bad. Ive had to come to the er tonight because earlier today i had the feeling that i had to go but when i tried, i had to strain. While straining, i felt this pain in my lower right stomach, real pain like cutting pain. I only went alittle. But when i got up, there was blood everywhere. I passed out. Rushed to the hospital and they called in a gastrointestinal specialist. Now, more surgery. Theyve said that because ive had 3 c sections when i had my 2 sets of twins and 1 single that i developed idhesions that have wrapped around my bowel making it hard to do #2. So off to surgery in the am. AGAIN. Youve never met someone that just wanna poop....lol. Hopefully after this i will become regular. Ill update you guys once they put me in my room. This is another 3day stay but hey atleast ill have problem solved. Hope this wasnt to much...goodnight

    So sorry to hear about your struggle. Sometimes the unmentionables need to be mentioned so others can lend a helping word. My words are just for comfort. I will be praying for you. I am getting ready

Sending you good vibes for today PPressey!

I wish you a speedy recovery!

So sorry to hear about your struggle. Sometimes the unmentionables need to be mentioned so others can lend a helping word. My words are just for comfort. I will be praying for you. I am getting ready to have my Sleeve surgery this coming 11/29. I am concerned about constipation as well. I have IBS and I have to take Benefiber or Miralax constantly to keep it flowing. My hope is everything will straighten out with having the sleeve done. I wish you well. Leslie

Goodness, so sorry to hear that ! Please let us know how you are when you are out and recovering xx

I am sorry to hear that you have had a setback and hope that the surgery goes well; this has worried me a little myself as i have had 3 c sections and also had adhesions when i had my hysterectomy. Hope you get better soon!

Benefiber is taatless and helps..I am an IBS sufferer also and benefiber is what my dr told me to use once a day and I put alitlle in my Water everyday to keep me regular..It works!!!

Thank you for your praying power. You are right God is an awesome God and hes always there when i need him. Ive had the worst 5yrs of my life, but out of this pain, has come some of the most beautiful people from this group. I truly believe he places ppl in your life when you need them. I dont think i could get through this without being able to vent to you guys. Ive been through so much that i have a testimony to tell honey. Hopefully this recovery from this procedure will be quick. Thanks again
