Anyone have partial blockage after surgery? Bypass on 8/1. About two weeks ago, was severely constipated but managed to evacuate most of my bowels though I felt it wasn't entirely. Since then I've had either diarrhea or string poop, so think there's still something blocking my bowels partially. Ugh this is gross! Anyhow I'm doing miralax three times a day and a suppository every couple of days. Smooth move tea too. Will this eventually work or do I just need to go to my gastroenterologist? I'd rather avoid that if possible but don't want to make myself sick.

Just keep on doing what you're doing. As long as things are coming out and you aren't in pain, everything is probably ok.

The miralax is probably causing the diarrhea, rather than any potential blockage.

In the hospital I was going fine. A week later I had pain and vomiting and hadn't been for 7 days. They put me back in and did a CT scan. There was no blockages no impaction so the gave me an enema anyway. That helped but then it was another 7 days before I went again. I now have movicol twice a day and actilax once. I'm on pain meds ongoing for something else and they said that could be doing it. Now that I am on mashed/lumpier food it seems to be working better. Not like clockwork and it is all different shapes and sizes but slowly moving lol
