Constipated.. we think...

Aug 24, 2009

So starting on Fri 21st I had this really weird left sided discomfort.. its at about my belly button height on my left side but its sort of closer to my belly button off and on. I called the WLS office on Fri and the RN talked to my surgeon after getting my symptoms.. Dr Schwartz said he's thinking its constipation (or bad gas) and to take some M of M and poo... So I upped water on Saturday and got moving... nothing.. Sun am I took M o M and all day.. nothing.. things seemed to bubbling and gargling.. but nothing happened.. This morning (Monday) I poo'd but I strained and it was only a little bit and it was very hard. WHHHHAAA...

Today I am at work and I feel stuffed up and the left sided discomfort is still lingering.. so I called the WLS office again and his RN made me an appointment for Wed afternoon to see my surgeon.. she wants to rule out any problems and have him do an exam. So I feel better. She said to up the water and take some more M of M if I want to in the meantime.. if it gets worse or intensifies or turns to pain (which its not) to call them right away.. page the on call bariatric surgeon at the office, and head to the ER...  I hope it's nothing serious but now I'm all paranoid its a blockage or something.. whaa....
