WARNING - CONTENT TMI (Constipation)
Hi Guys, I am about 3 months post op and I have been struggling with severe constipation. Sure, I am going to buy some softners to get the job done. My concern is what if I've somehow already damaged my new stomach. Is there a possibility of streaching your pouch due to straining when attempting a BM?

A lot of us find that taking Miralax on a somewhat regular basis helps with this. For instance, if I don't have a bowel movement on any given day, I take a dose of Miralax the next day. Constipation is no fun at all. :/
You have a sleeve, not a pouch, and you can't stretch it from pooping.
