I had my surgery on June 12th which will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Everything has been rolling really smoothly and no troubles at all. Then today hit! I have been bloated and feel so full that I can't eat anything. I can barely drink water without having to burb like a man afterwards to get the air out. All I have had today was some yogurt this morning and about 1/2 cup of water. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong, everything feels so tight and pushed up into my chest. If you are lactose intolerant wouldn't it have happened before today? Oh and I am severly constipated. Does anyone have any suggestons?

Call your DOC! NOW! (before his office closes, not because you're likely to explode or something)

Your problem is probably constipation...let HIM tell you what might be wrong and what to do! Seriously; they will prefer you call rather than let it get worse, ok?

There is a holiday this weekend; don't delay and end up in the ER!

Good luck; you probably just need a laxative/stool softener but your doc will tell you what he prefers you take, and it MAY be something else.
