How soon after Gastric Bypass RNY can you Gas X Relief? Is there advice on Constipation? I had Gastric Bypass RNY on Dec 26....I was constipated before surgery with the liquid diet. My one week follow up is January 2...Could anyone plz give me some advice?

We took GasX right after. You can take a Fiber powder that you mix in Water for Constipation right now. (I just can’t think of what it’s called right now!) If you think you are really impacted use an enema. You don’t need to lay down on the ground, just use it while sitting on the toilet & hold it in for a few minutes.

My Bariatric team recommended Miramax for regularity both prior and folliwing surgery. It's not a fast solution, but it does work very well. I still rely on it 17 months after surgery when I encounter Constipation.

My team had me take MOM (Milk of Magnesia) and had me start taking Benefiber. The MOM worked for me the next morning. I took 30ml before bed and was able to go the next morning. Hope it works for you.

This sh*t got real! (sorry, I couldnt help my self.) Prunes...prunes, I say. They are a nice sweet treat and help with the Constipation. When I got out of surgery, slightly watered down prune juice was amazing.
