bathroom problem

Here is the problem - For two days I have been constipated & feel like I have to go all the time. I have taken philips mag. it doesn't seem to be working. I was sleeved on Feb. 8th & lost 40 lbs. I had this problem one other time when I was on the pre-op liquid diet but not as bad as this. If it continues I was going to call the a Dr. on Fri., but which one the surgeon or my pcp? HELP please!
                            
I'd call my surgeon. My surgeon's office told me he'll take care of my GI tract from now on. Hope this helps and you get relief soon.
    
OK so TMI, but I was sleeved 10FEB and am feeling the same way!  I had to do glycerin suppositories last week, right now I'm so swollen, I feel for ya!!!

I normally take miralax daily, but haven't for awhile because it was making so gassy, I'm going to add it again, 1 capful a day!!!

You can use it as a flush as well, 1 cap every 6 hours for a day, just makes sure you're near toilet!

I am so can relate to your problem. I had to get on Miralax and boy has it made my better.  I have used it now for about a year. I would use about a TBS mixed with water at night before bed and it has made me feel so normal. I now only have to use it a couple of times a week.

Hope you feel better soon,
Kat

        
 I had the same issue and it went on for 8 weeks because I waited so long to do something about it.  I finally got relief after I started taking 3/Dulcolax tablets a day for about a week.
